In order for you to find a sample that might be similar to a clock you might want to integrate into parse I'll sum up the major features of the clocks (this information is distributed in the parse/clk_*.c and ntpd/refclock_parse.c files).</p> 15 <hr> 16 <h4>Meinberg clocks</h4> 17 <pre> 18 Meinberg: start=<STX>, end=<ETX>, sync on start 19 pattern="\2D: . . ;T: ;U: . . ; \3" 20 pattern="\2 . . ; ; : : ; \3" 21 pattern="\2 . . ; ; : : ; : ; ; . . " 22 </pre> 23 <p>Meinberg is a German manufacturer of time code receivers. Those clocks have a pretty common output format in the stock version. In order to support NTP Meinberg was so kind to produce some special versions of the firmware for the use with NTP. So, if you are going to use a Meinberg clock please ask whether there is a special Uni Erlangen version. You can reach <a href="http://www.meinberg.de/">Meinberg</a> via the Web. Information can also be ordered via eMail from <a href="mailto:%20info (a] meinberg.de">info (a] meinberg.de</a></p> 24 <p>General characteristics:<br> 25 Meinberg clocks primarily output pulse per second and a describing ASCII string. This string can be produced in two modes: either upon the reception of a question mark or every second. NTP uses the latter mechanism. DCF77 AM clocks have a limited accuracy of a few milliseconds. The DCF77 PZF5xx variants provide higher accuracy and have a pretty good relationship between RS232 time code and the PPS signal. Except for early versions of the old GPS166 receiver type, Meinberg GPS receivers have a very good timing relationship between the datagram and the pulse. The beginning of the start bit of the first character has basically the same accuracy as the PPS signal, plus a jitter of up to 1 bit time depending on the selected baud rate, i.e. 52 μs @ 19200. PPS support should always be used, if possible, in order to yield the highest possible accuracy.</p> 26 <p>The preferred tty setting for Meinberg DCF77 receivers is 9600/7E2:</p> 27 <pre> 28 CFLAG (B9600|CS7|PARENB|CREAD|HUPCL) 29 IFLAG (IGNBRK|IGNPAR|ISTRIP) 30 OFLAG 0 31 LFLAG 0 32 </pre> 33 <p>The tty setting for Meinberg GPS16x/17x receivers is 19200/8N1:</p> 34 <pre> 35 CFLAG (B19200|CS8|PARENB|CREAD|HUPCL) 36 IFLAG (IGNBRK|IGNPAR|ISTRIP) 37 OFLAG 0 38 LFLAG 0 39 </pre> 40 <p>All clocks should be run at datagram once per second.<br><br></p> 41 <p>Format of the Meinberg standard time string:</p> 42 <pre> 43 <b><i><STX></i>D:<i>dd.mm.yy</i>;T:<i>w</i>;U:<i>hh.mm.ss</i>;<i>uvxy</i><i><ETX></i></b> 44 pos: 0 000000001111111111222222222233 3 45 1 234567890123456789012345678901 2 46 47 <i><STX></i> = start-of-text, ASCII code 0x02 48 <i>dd.mm.yy</i> = day of month, month, year of the century, separated by dots 49 <i>w</i> = day of week (1..7, Monday = 1) 50 <i>hh:mm:ss</i> = hour, minute, second, separated by dots 51 <i>u</i> = '#' for GPS receivers: time is <b>not</b> synchronized 52 '#' for older PZF5xx receivers: no correlation, not synchronized 53 '#' for other devices: never sync'ed since powerup 54 ' ' if nothing of the above applies 55 <i>v</i> = '*' for GPS receivers: position has <b>not</b> been verified 56 '*' for other devices: freewheeling based on internal quartz 57 ' ' if nothing of the above applies 58 <i>x</i> = 'U' if UTC time is transmitted 59 'S' if daylight saving time is active 60 ' ' if nothing of the above applies 61 <i>y</i> = '!' during the hour preceding start or end of daylight saving time 62 'A' during the hour preceding a leap second 63 ' ' if nothing of the above applies 64 <i><ETX></i> = end-of-text, ASCII code 0x03 65 </pre> 66 <p>Format of the Uni Erlangen time string for PZF5xx receivers:</p> 67 <pre> 68 <b><i><STX></i><i>dd.mm.yy</i>; <i>w</i>; <i>hh:mm:ss</i>; <i>tuvxyza</i><i><ETX></i></b> 69 pos: 0 000000001111111111222222222233 3 70 1 234567890123456789012345678901 2 71 72 <i><STX></i> = start-of-text, ASCII code 0x02 73 <i>dd.mm.yy</i> = day of month, month, year of the century, separated by dots 74 <i>w</i> = day of week (1..7, Monday = 1) 75 <i>hh:mm:ss</i> = hour, minute, second, separated by colons 76 77 <i>t</i> = 'U' if UTC time is transmitted, else ' ' 78 <i>u</i> = '#' for older PZF5xx receivers: no correlation, not synchronized 79 '#' for PZF511 and newer: never sync'ed since powerup 80 ' ' if nothing of the above applies 81 <i>v</i> = '*' if freewheeling based on internal quartz, else ' ' 82 <i>x</i> = 'S' if daylight saving time is active, else ' ' 83 <i>y</i> = '!' during the hour preceding start or end of daylight saving time, else ' ' 84 <i>z</i> = 'A' during the hour preceding a leap second, else ' ' 85 <i>a</i> = 'R' alternate antenna (reminiscent of PZF5xx), usually ' ' for GPS receivers 86 <i><ETX></i> = end-of-text, ASCII code 0x03 87 </pre> 88 <p>Format of the Uni Erlangen time string for GPS16x/GPS17x receivers:</p> 89 <pre> 90 <b><i><STX></i><i>dd.mm.yy</i>; <i>w</i>; <i>hh:mm:ss</i>; <i>+uu:uu</i>; <i>uvxyzab</i>; <i>ll.lllln</i> <i>lll.lllle</i> <i>hhhh</i>m<i><ETX></i></b> 91 pos: 0 0000000011111111112222222222333333333344444444445555555555666666 6 92 1 2345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345 6 93 94 <i><STX></i> = start-of-text, ASCII code 0x02 95 <i>dd.mm.yy</i> = day of month, month, year of the century, separated by dots 96 <i>w</i> = day of week (1..7, Monday = 1) 97 <i>hh:mm:ss</i> = hour, minute, second, separated by colons 98 <i>+uu:uu</i> = offset to UTC in hours and minutes, preceded by + or - 99 <i>u</i> = '#' if time is <b>not</b> synchronized, else ' ' 100 <i>v</i> = '*' if position has <b>not</b> been verified, else ' ' 101 <i>x</i> = 'S' if daylight saving time is active, else ' ' 102 <i>y</i> = '!' during the hour preceding start or end of daylight saving time, else ' ' 103 <i>z</i> = 'A' during the hour preceding a leap second, else ' ' 104 <i>a</i> = 'R' alternate antenna (reminiscent of PZF5xx), usually ' ' for GPS receivers 105 <i>b</i> = 'L' during a leap second, i.e. if the seconds field is 60, else ' ' 106 <i>ll.lllln</i> = position latitude in degrees, 'n' can actually be 'N' or 'S', i.e. North or South 107 <i>lll.lllle</i> = position longitude in degrees, 'e' can actually be 'E' or 'W', i.e. East or West 108 <i>hhhh</i> = position altitude in meters, always followed by 'm' 109 <i><ETX></i> = end-of-text, ASCII code 0x03 110 </pre> 111 <p>Examples for Uni Erlangen strings from GPS receivers:</p> 112 <pre> 113 \x02 09.07.93; 5; 08:48:26; +00:00; ; 49.5736N 11.0280E 373m \x03 114 \x02 08.11.06; 3; 14:39:39; +00:00; ; 51.9828N 9.2258E 176m \x03 115 </pre> 116 <p>The Uni Erlangen formats should be used preferably.
