<h2>Description</h2>
The refclock_neoclock4x driver supports the NeoClock4X receiver available
from <a href="http://www.linum.com">Linum Software GmbH</a>. The receiver
is available as a <a href="http://www.dcf77.de">DCF77</a> or TDF receiver.
Both receivers have the same output string. For more information about the
NeoClock4X receiver please visit <a
href="http://www.linum.com/redir/jump/id=neoclock4x&amp;action=redir">http://www.linum.com/redir/jump/id=neoclock4x&amp;action=redir</a>.

<h2>Fudge Factors</h2>
<dl>
<dt> <b><a href="clockopt.htm">time1 time</a></b></dt>
<dd> Specifies the time offset calibration factor with the default value
off 0.16958333 seconds. This offset is used  to correct serial line and
operating system delays incurred in capturing time stamps. If you want to
fudge the time1 offset <b>ALWAYS</b> add a value off 0.16958333. This is
neccessary to compensate to delay that is caused by transmit the timestamp
at 2400 Baud. If you want to compensate the delay that the DCF77 or TDF radio
signal takes to travel to your site simply add the needed millisecond delay
to the given value. Note that the time here is given in seconds.</dd>
<dd>Default setting is 0.16958333 seconds.<br>

<dd> Not used by this driver.</dd>
</dl>
<dl>
<dt> <a href="clockopt.htm"><b>flag1 0 | 1</b></a></dt>
<dd>When set to 1 the driver will feed ntp with timestampe even if the
radio signal is lost. In this case an internal backup clock generates the
timestamps. This is ok as long as the receiver is synced once since the receiver
is able to keep time for a long period.</dd>
<dd>Default setting is 0 = don't synchronize to CMOS clock.<br>
</dd>
<dd><br>
</dd>
<dt> <a href="clockopt.htm"><b>flag2 0 | 1</b></a></dt>
<dd>You can allow the NeoClock4X driver to use the quartz clock even if
it is never synchronized to a radio clock. This is usally not a good idea
if you want preceise timestamps since the CMOS clock is maybe not adjusted
to a dst status change. So <b>PLEASE</b> switch this only on if you now
what you're doing.</dd>
<dd>Default setting is 0 = don't synchronize to unsynchronized CMOS clock.<br>

<dt> <a href="clockopt.htm"><b>flag4 0 | 1</b></a></dt>
<dd>It is recommended to allow extensive logging while you setup the NeoClock4X
receiver. If you activate flag4 every received data is logged. You should
turn off flag4 as soon as the clock works as expected to reduce logfile
cluttering.</dd>
<dd>Default setting is 0 = don't log received data and converted utc time.<br>
