2 * tg.c generate WWV or IRIG signals for test
5 * This program can generate audio signals that simulate the WWV/H
6 * broadcast timecode. Alternatively, it can generate the IRIG-B
7 * timecode commonly used to synchronize laboratory equipment. It is
8 * intended to test the WWV/H driver (refclock_wwv.c) and the IRIG
9 * driver (refclock_irig.c) in the NTP driver collection.
11 * Besides testing the drivers themselves, this program can be used to
12 * synchronize remote machines over audio transmission lines or program
13 * feeds. The program reads the time on the local machine and sets the
14 * initial epoch of the signal generator within one millisecond.
15 * Alernatively, the initial epoch can be set to an arbitrary time. This
16 * is useful when searching for bugs and testing for correct response to
17 * a leap second in UTC. Note however, the ultimate accuracy is limited
18 * by the intrinsic frequency error of the codec sample clock, which can
19 # reach well over 100 PPM.
21 * The default is to route generated signals to the line output
22 * jack; the s option on the command line routes these signals to the
23 * internal speaker as well. The v option controls the speaker volume
24 * over the range 0-255. The signal generator by default uses WWV
25 * format; the h option switches to WWVH format and the i option
26 * switches to IRIG-B format.
28 * Once started the program runs continuously. The default initial epoch
29 * for the signal generator is read from the computer system clock when
30 * the program starts. The y option specifies an alternate epoch using a
31 * string yydddhhmmss, where yy is the year of century, ddd the day of
32 * year, hh the hour of day and mm the minute of hour. For instance,
33 * 1946Z on 1 January 2006 is 060011946. The l option lights the leap
34 * warning bit in the WWV/H timecode, so is handy to check for correct
35 * behavior at the next leap second epoch. The remaining options are
36 * specified below under the Parse Options heading. Most of these are
39 * During operation the program displays the WWV/H timecode (9 digits)
40 * or IRIG timecode (20 digits) as each new string is constructed. The
41 * display is followed by the BCD binary bits as transmitted. Note that
42 * the transmissionorder is low-order first as the frame is processed
43 * left to right. For WWV/H The leap warning L preceeds the first bit.
44 * For IRIG the on-time marker M preceeds the first (units) bit, so its
45 * code is delayed one bit and the next digit (tens) needs only three
48 * The program has been tested with the Sun Blade 1500 running Solaris
49 * 10, but not yet with other machines. It uses no special features and
50 * should be readily portable to other hardware and operating systems.
