WWVB Radio Clock for the Universal Serial Bus (USB)

Image Zoom		The WWVB51USB is a Radio Clock that receives the WWVB long wave time signal and synchronizes a PC or laptop using a USB connection. The compact plastic housing includes an integrated antenna,an external antenna can be connected as an option to improve reception quality in noisy environments. This device is a perfect alternative for synchronizing computer systems where no PCI slot or serial port is available for time synchronization.

Description
WWVB Radio Clock for the Universal Serial Bus (USB)

This USB clock offers a professional solution for your time synchronization requirements in mobile applications like field data acquisition with a laptop/notebook. It can be deployed whenever you need to synchronize a standalone PC, laptop or server with the WWVB time signal broadcasted by the U.S. National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST).

The drivers package for Windows contains a time adjustment service which runs in the background and adjusts the Windows system time continously and smoothly. A monitor program is also included which lets the user check the status of the device and the time adjustment service, and can be used to modify configurable parameters.

The driver package for Linux contains a kernel driver which allows the board to be used as a reference time source for the NTP daemon which is shipped with most Linux distributions. This also turns the computer into a NTP time server which can also provide accurate time to other NTP clients on the network. Some command line tools can be used to setup configurable parameters and monitor the status of the board.

The Meinberg Single-Driver-Concept simplifies driver installation dramatically - there is only one driver who supports all Meinberg PCI and USB devices and if you use our API to access your Meinberg timing device from within your own applications, you can use the same source code for both PCI and USB devices.
