The ntpgmtaceb (this clock loses 1.10e-11second every second => ie 8.6
10e-7s each days) is providing zda+pps, I have worked on using PPS
with LinuxPPS.
But I need to patch the kernel. I'm using CentOS 5.4 => linux2.6.18.
I have succeeded to work with linux2.6.27 on a ubuntu PC but it's
still experimental and can't be used for operationnal recording.
You all have right, the problem is to have all the devices
synchronized no matter if the time is not correct.
But I'm just responsible for one device. So the problem is how can I
be synchronized to ntpgmtaceb.
Thanks for all this discussion, and I'll need to be at shore to read
all this in a more convenient way.
