<p><h4>Synopsis</h4>
|
|
|
|
<p>Address: 127.127.11.<var>u</var>
|
|
<br>Reference ID: GPS
|
|
<br>Driver ID: GPS_ARBITER
|
|
<br>Serial Port: <code>/dev/gps<var>u</var></code>; 9600 baud, 8-bits,
|
|
no parity
|
|
<br>Features: <code>tty_clk</code>
|
|
|
|
<p><h4>Description</h4>
|
|
|
|
<p>This driver supports the Arbiter 1088A/B Satellite Controlled Clock.
|
|
The claimed accuracy of this clock is 100 ns relative to the PPS output
|
|
when receiving four or more satellites.
|
|
|
|
<p>The receiver should be configured before starting the NTP daemon, in
|
|
order to establish reliable position and operating conditions. It does
|
|
not initiate surveying or hold mode. For use with NTP, the daylight
|
|
savings time feature should be disables (<code>D0</code> command) and
|
|
the broadcast mode set to operate in UTC (<code>BU</code> command).
|
|
|
|
<p>The timecode format supported by this driver is selected by the poll
|
|
sequence <code>B5</code>, which initiates a line in the following format
|
|
to be repeated once per second until turned off by the <code>B0</code>
|
|
command.
|
|
|
|
<p>Format <code>B5</code> (24 ASCII printing characters):
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
<cr><lf>i yy ddd hh:mm:ss.000bbb
|
|
|
|
on-time = <cr>
|
|
i = synchronization flag (' ' = locked, '?' = unlocked)
|
|
yy = year of century
|
|
ddd = day of year
|
|
hh:mm:ss = hours, minutes, seconds
|
|
.000 = fraction of second (not used)
|
|
bbb = tailing spaces for fill
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>The alarm condition is indicated by a '?' at i, which indicates the
|
|
receiver is not synchronized. In normal operation, a line consisting of
|
|
the timecode followed by the time quality character (TQ) followed by the
|
|
receiver status string (SR) is written to the clockstats file.
|
|
|
|
<p>The time quality character is encoded in IEEE P1344 standard:
|
|
|
|
<p>Format <code>TQ</code> (IEEE P1344 estimated worst-case time quality)
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
0 clock locked, maximum accuracy
|
|
F clock failure, time not reliable
|
|
4 clock unlocked, accuracy < 1 us
|
|
5 clock unlocked, accuracy < 10 us
|
|
6 clock unlocked, accuracy < 100 us
|
|
7 clock unlocked, accuracy < 1 ms
|
|
8 clock unlocked, accuracy < 10 ms
|
|
9 clock unlocked, accuracy < 100 ms
|
|
A clock unlocked, accuracy < 1 s
|
|
B clock unlocked, accuracy < 10 s
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>The status string is encoded as follows:
|
|
|
|
<p>Format <code>SR</code> (25 ASCII printing characters)
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
V=vv S=ss T=t P=pdop E=ee
|
|
|
|
vv = satellites visible
|
|
ss = relative signal strength
|
|
t = satellites tracked
|
|
pdop = position dilution of precision (meters)
|
|
ee = hardware errors
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>A three-stage median filter is used to reduce jitter and provide a
|
|
dispersion measure. The driver makes no attempt to correct for the
|
|
intrinsic jitter of the radio itself.
|
|
|
|
<p><h4>Monitor Data</h4>
|
|
|
|
<p>The driver writes each timecode as received to the
|
|
<code>clockstats</code> file. When enabled by the <code>flag4</code>
|
|
fudge flag, an additional line containing the latitude, longitude,
|
|
elevation and optional deviation data is written to the
|
|
<code>clockstats</code> file. The deviation data operates with an
|
|
external pulse-per-second (PPS) input, such as a cesium oscillator or
|
|
another radio clock. The PPS input should be connected to the B event
|
|
channel and the radio initialized for deviation data on that channel.
|
|
The deviation data consists of the mean offset and standard deviation of
|
|
the external PPS signal relative the GPS signal, both in microseconds
|
|
over the last 16 seconds.
|
|
|
|
<p><h4>Fudge Factors</h4>
|
|
|
|
<dl>
|
|
|
|
<dt><code>time1 <i>time</i></code>
|
|
<dd>Specifies the time offset calibration factor, in seconds and
|
|
fraction, with default 0.0. For a calibrated Sun IPC, the correct value
|
|
is about .0065.
|
|
|
|
<p><dt><code>time2 <i>time</i></code>
|
|
<dd>Not used by this driver.
|
|
|
|
<p><dt><code>stratum <i>number</i></code>
|
|
<dd>Specifies the driver stratum, in decimal from 0 to 15, with default
|
|
0.
|
|
|
|
<p><dt><code>refid <i>string</i></code>
|
|
<dd>Specifies the driver reference identifier, an ASCII string from one
|
|
to four characters, with default <code>GPS</code>.
|
|
|
|
<p><dt><code>flag1 0 | 1</code>
|
|
<dd>Not used by this driver.
|
|
|
|
<p><dt><code>flag2 0 | 1</code>
|
|
<dd>Not used by this driver.
|
|
|
|
<p><dt><code>flag3 0 | 1</code>
|
|
<dd>Enable <code>ppsclock</code> line discipline/streams module if set.
|
|
|
|
<p><dt><code>flag4 0 | 1</code>
|
|
<dd>Enable extended <code>clockstats</code> recording if set.
