| Description: | At ARCS2, the MWR computer clock was not being updated because no NTP time service
software was installed on the computer. During Nauru99, on 6/24/99, the clock was found to be 3
minutes and 17 seconds fast.
Assuming that the time was properly set at installation on 10/26/98 (which is not
indicated in the installation report) and never reset until 6/24/99, the rate of time drift on
the computer was about +0.8 seconds per day. However, if the time was not reset since
integration at AIS on 1/14/98 (which is recorded in my integration notes), then the rate of
drift is about +0.4 seconds per day.
The computer was replaced and time service started on 7/30/99. |
