[time-nuts] NTP, PPS and < 10 us offsets

[Rob Kimberley]

Check if you have a Max Poll setting in your config file. 

max poll 5 = 32 seconds
max poll 6 = 64 seconds
max poll 7 = 128 seconds

Hi!

I am trying to figure out why NTP takes so long to react to oscillator
changes... I want it to track the PPS from a Trimble Acutime as closely as
possible.

When checking ntptime on startup I see that the NTP daemon is using PLL and
starts the adjustment interval at 8 s. It then increases to 16, 32, 64, 128
and stops at 256.

I read in the documentation that this limit should be 128 but is now 256.

--- start from http://www.ntp.org/ntpfaq/NTP-s-config-adv.htm --- intervals
57 says that there were 57 calibration intervals. When PPS pulses are
arriving, this number should increase. Each frequency adjustment requires a
good calibration interval. The length of the current calibration interval
can be found as interval 128 s (128 seconds is the default maximum length).
Remaining numbers count abnormal conditions as explained below.
--- end ---

How can I make it stop earlier? At 64 s for example?

Any ideas?

TIA,
Miguel
