Joe Smith would like a crystal clock that adjusts itself long-term from the power line which makes a good long-term time standard but relatively poor short-term one. I like the idea but I'm not sure conceptually how you would design this. At any instant the power line time interval will be long or short. When do you decide to 'sync' up to it? Or maybe you sample the intervals over a week, take the average and set your crystal frequency to that? Or sample over a 30 hour period since the power companies supposedly average over a day? How many samples? Anybody have an idea of how to design this? Dana
