5.5.2.4 How to activate the DCF77 reception service
DCF77 reception service
The DCF77 reception service performs the following tasks:
● Evaluation of time signals from the DCF77 transmitter of the Physikalisch-Technische
Bundesanstalt in Mainflingen in Darmstadt, Germany.
● Comparison of the time signals with the system time of the PC station.
● Correction of the system time, if necessary.
A receiver module reads in the time signals in different ways. The reception service expects
the time signals over one of the serial ports of the PC station.
Note
You can use the "DCF77 Reception Service" application as a client application to synchronize
any number of PCs without the DCF77 module.
