[time-nuts] Best counter setting for ADEV?

[Bob Camp]

Hi

NTP server? Time tagging remotely collected data? Large area industrial
automation?

Generally as you relax the timing requirement, the number of applications
goes up quite a bit. If all you need is a few hundred ns (but under a few
microseconds), a bare timing receiver is a fine thing.

Of course, that only works when you actually need a GPSDO, but what is the
point of a GPS timing receiver if not to discipline a high quality
oscillator?

But it does depend on having a good oscillator that can be shoved 
around.  That costs money and power.
