Beagle Software Products Beagle Software's ClockCard is an accurate, temperature-stable real time clock complete on a PC card. Use ClockCard to dramatically improve the accuracy of your computer's clock. The ClockCard is real time clock for PCs based on a highly stable oscillator circuit complete with lithium battery power. The ClockCard will maintain time on your PC to 15 seconds/month error. If your computer is operating in a temperature stable environment, error will be less than 5 seconds/month. Standard time-synchronization can be done using ClockWatch. With ClockCard and ClockWatch installed together you can use a two-tiered approach in maintaining the correct time: ·ClockWatch makes periodic checks over the Internet to verify that the computer's clock is correct. If a time change is necessary it sets both the operating system and the ClockCard clocks. This method is the most accurate but involves communicating with external timeservers. ·ClockCard maintains the correct time. ClockWatch checks periodically to update the operating system with the time from ClockCard. While not as accurate as the external synchronization, it can be done as often as necessary in Windows 95 or 98 environments. ·Combining both gives a 2 level time keeping solution: For example ClockWatch can check ClockCard every 10 minutes and does an external time check to the atomic clock once a day. ClockCard is available (ISA PC slot configuration only) from Beagle Software ClockWatch ClockWatch provides a fast and easy way to synchronize your computer system's clock to standard time over the Internet. ClockWatch queries one of the timeservers maintained by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, which returns the exact standard time. Settings can be made on demand, on a regularly scheduled basis, or automatically based on the specific experience of the local system. You set the level of accuracy desired and ClockWatch checks the time when appropriate. Results from clock settings are graphically displayed in windows and charts showing the overall accuracy of your computer. Results of clock settings can also be logged to a file allowing you to save all activity in a text file on your computer for later review or archival. A command line mode allows users to run ClockWatch from a batch file. "Highly Recommended" PC Computer |
