6 User Manual

Adjusting the Clock's Precision

Option 10 in the option mode allows you to adjust the clock s precision. If you decrease

the value by one, the clock runs approx. 1.3 s slower per month. If you increase the

value by one, the clock runs approx. 1.3 s faster per month.

In order to adjust the clock s precision you have to determine how much time the clock

deviates over a period of time. Use a reference clock to this purpose. Examples of a

reference clock include a GPS clock and the clock on the Teletext pages.

Measure the period in hours and the deviation in seconds. The deviation is positive when

the clock runs too fast, it is negative when the clock runs too slow. When you determine

the deviation, you must only take whole seconds into account disregarding any fractional

part.

Once you ve determined the values for the period and the deviation, use the following

formula to calculate the adjustment:

adjustment = − (deviation × 550 ÷ period)

Example

Suppose the clock runs 2 seconds behind over a period of 72 hours. Hence the deviation

is -2 s. According to the formula, the adjustment is −(−2 × 550 ÷ 72) = ~15. In order

to adjust the clock s precision, you ll have to add 15 to the value of option 10 in the

option mode.
