[time-nuts] How does sawtooth compensation work?

Or use the sawtooth compensation value  to control an external variable delay line circuit to move around the PPS signal from the receiver.  This can get interesting to implement if the receiver can output negative values for the sawtooth compensation (hint: add a bias to  the sawtooth value to make the compensation values always positive and adjust the antenna cable delay command to remove the bias value that you add.  Oh, and for some receivers you have to reverse the meaning of positive and negative sawtooth corrections and/or cable delay values).  It is even more interesting if the receiver outputs the sawtooth correction after the pulse it just generated... hint: get a different GPS receiver).
