169c2daa00SOllivier Robert<h4>Synopsis</h4>
179c2daa00SOllivier Robert<p>Address: 127.127.10.<i>u</i><br>
189c2daa00SOllivier Robert  Reference ID: <tt>GPS</tt><br>
199c2daa00SOllivier Robert  Driver ID: <tt>GPS_AS2201</tt><br>
209c2daa00SOllivier Robert  Serial Port: <tt>/dev/gps<i>u</i></tt>; 9600 baud, 8-bits, no parity<br>
219c2daa00SOllivier Robert  Features: <tt>tty_clk</tt></p>
229c2daa00SOllivier Robert<h4>Description</h4>
239c2daa00SOllivier Robert<p>This driver supports the Austron 2200A/2201A GPS/LORAN Synchronized Clock and Timing Receiver connected via a serial port. It supports several special features of the clock, including the Input Buffer Module, Output Buffer Module, IRIG-B Interface Module and LORAN Assist Module. It requires the RS232 Buffered Serial Interface module for communication with the driver.</p>
249c2daa00SOllivier Robert<p>For use with a single computer, the receiver can be connected directly to the receiver. For use with multiple computers, one of them is connected directly to the receiver and generates the polling messages. The other computers just listen to the receiver output directly or through a buffer amplifier. For computers that just listen, <tt>fudge flag2</tt> must be set and the <tt>ppsclock </tt>streams module configured on each of them.</p>
259c2daa00SOllivier Robert<p>This receiver is capable of a comprehensive and large volume of statistics and operational data. The specific data collection commands and attributes are embedded in the driver source code; however, the collection process can be enabled or disabled using the flag4 flag. If set, collection is enabled; if not, which is the default, it is disabled. A comprehensive suite of data reduction and summary scripts is in the ./scripts/stats directory</p>
269c2daa00SOllivier Robertof the ntp3 distribution.
279c2daa00SOllivier Robert<h4>Monitor Data</h4>
289c2daa00SOllivier Robert<p>When enabled by the <tt>flag4</tt> fudge flag, every received timecode is written as-is to the <tt>clockstats</tt> file.</p>
