the experiment says…?
Sync pulse much better than NTP: 100usec vs. 1usec (clock resolution=1usec)
- At the cost of a localized timebase
Pulse+NTP=10x better than either alone
- Multi-modal solutions are good!
Important: We do as well when we train NTP first, then cut off its time source
- No time source needed = no radio listening = much lower energy expenditure
