        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
