We would still be relying on NTP to report on it’s self. I can feed the PC a PPS from my GPSDO and let it report on that. Tell it to simply monitor the input, but not use it for disciplining. I get information, but it’s what NTP “thinks of it’s self”. Ideally one would like to get an output that can be independently measured. Bob > > Agreed, not trivial.
