GLOSSARY OF COMMON TERMS
LCD
“LCD” is an acronym for ”Liquid Crystal Display”. This is a common type of display screen used in televisions, computers, watches, and digital clocks.
LED

NIST
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (Time and Frequency division) maintains the primary frequency standard for the United States. The NIST also coordinates the United States time and frequency standards with other world standards. The NIST provides time and frequency services for United States clientele.
WWVB
The WWVB is an AM radio station in Ft. Collins, Colorado, managed by the NIST. The WWVB’s function is to broadcast
ATOMIC CLOCK
An atomic clock is an extremely accurate time device measuring time by the movements of electrons in cesium atoms. The NIST atomic clock is one of the most precise clocks in the world, accurate to 10 billionths of one second. The NIST’s atomic clock contributes to the international group of clocks calculating the Coordinated Universal Time
RADIO CONTROLLED TIME
A radio controlled time device is often confused with an atomic clock. However, a radio controlled time device receives its time information from the atomic clock each day through an internal antenna. The radio controlled time device searches for an exact time signal every night when the signal from the WWVB is the strongest. The signal can be received up to 2,000 miles away through a radio controlled time device.
