[time-nuts] 1PPS for the beginner

> Is there a time-nuts FAQ?

Hi Ron,

We've considered that several times. There are problems.

Also it's hard to beat the already superb NIST Time & Frequency FAQ / A-Z glossary. There's an index, or just start with A and read through several dozen webs pages until you get to Z:

https://www.nist.gov/time-and-frequency-services/am-b
...
https://www.nist.gov/time-and-frequency-services/x-z

That document works for almost all the words and concepts you're curious about. Really good for a newcomer to the world of time & frequency. Colloquial words like hanging bridge or TAPR-TICC, etc. are found in the time-nuts archives, which acts like a giant living FAQ. Or just ask. Additional information, as well as hints on searching the archives, is described on the time-nuts intro page:
