Is there another way to get computer system time set from a GPS receiver other than NTP? In the case that the system clock is controlled by GPSDO and the seconds delineated by PPS, there should be no need for the NTP clock discipline code, but I am not aware of any way to inform the NTP daemon that no disciplining is needed. Presumably the code should determine that eventually. In the case that the system clock is free running, the clock discipline is still needed, but I found a note in one of the NTP documents (that I can no longer locate at the moment) that stated something to the effect that NTP did not run well as it could with a single reference, which would seem to directly affect the case where a GPS receiver is the only reference. That document had only that short note, no details on why or specifics of behavior. -- Chris Caudle _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
