CHAPTER 13 AUTOMATIC UPDATE OF PC CLOCK:

Note: The use of GPS time is optional. The preferred time source is the Tardis95 program which updates the PC clock via the LAN to a Network Time Server.

Network Time Server

The Tardis95 program starts automatically when the computer boots. A small blue icon shall be visible right besides the PC clock in the down-right corner of the monitor. To change the settings, just click on the icon. The settings should be as shown in the figure. The IP address to NPF time server is currently 193.156.10.100 as shown in the figure. The program communicates via the computers network connection.

THE GARMIN GPS 12XL RECEIVER (OPTIONAL)

The setup of the Garmin GPS 12XL receiver is shown in Figure 2. The Garmin GPS 12XL receiver must be mounted with open view to

at least ½ of the sky. Then it will «see» several of the GPS satellites in polar orbit.

The mounting bracket can be unscrewed and remounted in several positions. The data cable from the Garmin GPS 12XL is connected to the connector box. This connector box is having an input

connector for

12VC (from the AC

to DC converter). It

also has a

RS-232 connection. This is connected

to the PC COM2: port. Only

the TxD, RxD

and GND connector

is

used in the PC.
