Re: [foxboro] Time Synchronization

Bill,


We have a very comprehensive Time synch package for AW51s and AW70s.
Find attached some more information on the package.
If you need more information let me know.


Regards,
Sylvain.

Subject: [foxboro] Time Synchronization



I would like to synchronize the time of our AW51D (IA Series -Ver. 6.3) with
other NON~-Foxboro measurement equipment in our facility.  The IA Series
manual says only set the time using the IA System Manager.  However, I was
able to synchronize the time by running a cron job that implements ntpdate
to set the Sun Solaris time from a NTP server.  This seemed to work well
because our WP51D (IA Series -Ver. 6.3) successfully adjusted its time based
on the AW51D.  Unfortunately, the time reported is in UTC.  To correct the
problem, I adjusted the time zone setting by editing the TZ parameter in the
/etc/default/init file.  Adjusting the time zone from GMT to US/Eastern
caused the time system within the IA Series usually set by System Manager to
not function properly.

Does anyone know how to set/synchronize the time of an AW51D to an atomic
clock (e.g. NTP, atomic clock radio) without causing the time system within
the IA Series usually set System Manager to cease functioning?  A cheap
solution is preferred.

~Bill
