SRRL GPS Time Server: Instructions

SRRL GPS Time Server

NREL has a Symmetricom GPS receiver at SRRL that connects to a PC via the RS-232 port, which allows us to set our time to within ą0.5 seconds of Universal Time (UT). This PC is also setup to act as a "time server" for other computers inside the NREL firewall. Any computer with internet connectivity can connect to our time server (midc.nrel.gov) using an application that supports time setting via the standard time port. Some computers have this function built into the operating systems, others may require you to download special software. Note: Be sure your OS has been set for your timezone and whether or not you are observing daylight savings time.
