Description</H4>
|
|
This driver supports the Heath GC-1000 Most Accurate Clock, with RS232C
|
|
Output Accessory. This is a WWV/WWVH receiver somewhat less robust than
|
|
other supported receivers. Its claimed accuracy is 100 ms when actually
|
|
synchronized to the broadcast signal, but this doesn't happen even most
|
|
of the time, due to propagation conditions, ambient noise sources, etc.
|
|
When not synchronized, the accuracy is at the whim of the internal clock
|
|
oscillator, which can wander into the sunset without warning. Since the
|
|
indicated precision is 100 ms, expect a host synchronized only to this
|
|
thing to wander to and fro, occasionally being rudely stepped when the
|
|
offset exceeds the default CLOCK_MAX of 128 ms.
|
|
|
|
<P>The internal DIPswitches should be set to operate at 1200 baud in MANUAL
|
|
mode and the current year. The external DIPswitches should be set to GMT
|
|
and 24-hour format. It is very important that the year be set correctly
|
|
in the DIPswitches; otherwise, the day of year will be incorrect after
|
|
28 April of a normal or leap year.
|
|
|
|
<P>In MANUAL mode the clock responds to a rising edge of the request to
|
|
send (RTS) modem control line by sending the timecode. Therefore, it is
|
|
necessary that the operating system implement the <TT>TIOCMBIC</TT> and
|
|
<TT>TIOCMBIS</TT> ioctl system calls and <TT>TIOCM_RTS</TT> control bit.
|
|
Present restrictions require the use of a POSIX-compatible programming
|
|
interface, although other interfaces may work as well.
|
|
|
|
<P>The clock message consists of 23 ASCII printing characters in the following
|
|
format:
|
|
<PRE>hh:mm:ss.f dd/mm/yr<cr>
|
|
|
|
hh:mm:ss.f = hours, minutes, seconds
|
|
f = deciseconds ('?' when out of spec)
|
|
dd/mm/yr = day, month, year</PRE>
|
|
The alarm condition is indicated by '?', rather than a digit, at A. Note
|
|
that 0?:??:??.? is displayed before synchronization is first established
|
|
and hh:mm:ss.? once synchronization is established and then lost again
|
|
for about a day.
|
|
|
|
<P>A fudge time1 value of .07 s appears to center the clock offset residuals.
