Neat find. Thanks for sharing. But you can get more. How many 5s do you want? 13:20 is 13*3600 + 20*60 = 48000 seconds 48000 / 86400 is 5/9 5/9 is 0.555555555... (repeating fraction) Does the Trak 6460 do the right with leap seconds? What is the right thing? -- These are my opinions, not necessarily my employer's.
