12        <h3>NTP PARSE clock data formats</h3>
13        <p>The parse driver currently supports several clocks with different query mechanisms. In order for you to find a sample that might be similar to a clock you might want to integrate into parse i'll sum up the major features of the clocks (this information is distributed in the parse/clk_*.c and ntpd/refclock_parse.c files).</p>

22        <p>Meinberg is a German manufacturer of time code receivers. Those clocks have a pretty common output format in the stock version. In order to support NTP Meinberg was so kind to produce some special versions of the firmware for the use with NTP. So, if you are going to use a Meinberg clock please ask whether there is a special Uni Erlangen version. You can reach <a href="http://www.meinberg.de/">Meinberg</a> via the Web. Information can also be ordered via eMail from <a href="mailto:%20info@meinberg.de">info@meinberg.de</a></p>
23        <p>General characteristics:<br>
24            Meinberg clocks primarily output pulse per second and a describing ASCII string. This string can be produced in two modes. either upon the reception of a question mark or every second. NTP uses the latter mechanism. The DCF77 variants have a pretty good relationship between RS232 time code and the PPS signal while the GPS receiver has no fixed timeing between the datagram and the pulse (you need to use PPS with GPS!) on DCF77 you might get away without the PPS signal.</p>
25        <p>The preferred tty setting for Meinberg is:</p>

108        <p>direct DCF77 code input</p>
109        <p>In Europe it is relatively easy/cheap the receive the german time code transmitter DCF77. The simplest version to process its signal is to feed the 100/200ms pulse of the demodulated AM signal via a level converter to an RS232 port at 50Baud. parse/clk_rawdcf.c holds all necessary decoding logic for the time code which is transmitted each minute for one minute. A bit of the time code is sent once a second.</p>

301        <p>The WHARTON 400A Series clock is able to send date/time serial messages in 7 output formats. We use format 1 here because it is the shortest. We set up the clock to send a datagram every second. For use with this driver, the WHARTON 400A Series clock must be set-up as follows :</p>
302        <pre>
303  					Programmable	Selected
304  					Option No	Option
305	BST or CET display		3		9 or 11
306	No external controller		7		0
307	Serial Output Format 1		9		1
308	Baud rate 9600 bps		10		96
309	Bit length 8 bits		11		8
310	Parity even			12		E
311</pre>
312        <p>WHARTON 400A Series output format 1 is as follows :</p>
313        <pre>
314   Timestamp	STXssmmhhDDMMYYSETX
315   Pos		0  12345678901234
316  		0  00000000011111
317  
318   STX	start transmission (ASCII 0x02)
319   ETX	end transmission (ASCII 0x03)
320   ss	Second expressed in reversed decimal (units then tens)
321   mm	Minute expressed in reversed decimal
322   hh	Hour expressed in reversed decimal
323   DD	Day of month expressed in reversed decimal
324   MM	Month expressed in reversed decimal (January is 1)
325   YY	Year (without century) expressed in reversed decimal
326   S	Status byte : 0x30 +
327		bit 0	0 = MSF source		1 = DCF source
328		bit 1	0 = Winter time		1 = Summer time
329		bit 2	0 = not synchronised	1 = synchronised
330		bit 3	0 = no early warning	1 = early warning
