As long as it receives the time signal, the precision will be that of the WWVB time code.
That would be the clock accuracy, not the display precision. Precision refers to how accurately you can read something.
Didn't we deal with that in the previous paragraph ?
That doesn't mean the clock is accurate, as it could be off but you, but you can read it precisely.
Exactly.
It will probably depend on where it is displayed, but if you do a gettimeofday(), the result is returned with precision in microseconds.
You'd have to be connected to an appropriate stratum 0 source for that. Stratum 1 will only be within milliseconds.
I thought you said it is only about the precision _read_, not how accurate it is. On a stand-alone PC running off the undisciplined local clock, you can still read the timestamp with microsecond precision. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (26.9°C) http://www.cloudsuisse.com/ - your owncloud, hosted in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
