leontp offset?

Hi all,

I'm checking out the leontp ntp time server (leontp.com).  After a week of
use I am getting the following ntp -q output:

$ ntpq -pn
remote          refid      st t when poll reach  delay  offset
jitter

0.061            <- LeoNTP

the offset of the leontp device from the other clocks has consistently been
in the 9.5 -10.5 range.  since I'm measuring all three sources  from the
same (EL7) computer, I would expect that the offset of the leontp unit to
converge to be in the close neighborhood of the offsets of the arbiters.
It has not converged, instead maintaining the ~10ms offset.

Thoughts?

Thanks.

Details:

172.17.21.11 is approx 400M away through two Cisco 3750G switches no
routing.
172.17.21.12 is in the same rack as the leoNTP unit and plugged into the
same 3750G switch

Antenna location for the .12 arbiter and the leontp is on the same rung of
the same tower.  Tower has clear horizon to horizon view.  cable runs are
the same (obviously).

I did run with the included puck in my south facing office window (rather
than the GPS antenna on the tower) for a couple of days when I first got
the unit.  The offset behaviour was the same.

Here is a BSD computer running ntpd, configured with hardware serial port attached GPS, PPS through FatPPS into the serial port seen as GPS_NMEA below, along with the two LeoNTP servers at 192.168.20.5 and 192.168.20.6, offset and jitter appear reasonable, as expected on a LAN, and I've seen no anomalies over the past month.

The three devices above have separate GPS antennas installed within a couple meters of each other, all three see between 10 and 12 satellites.

A couple weeks ago I also used an HP 5334B to compare each LeoNTP PPS to a TVB screened T-Bolt PPS, the T-Bolt was configured with LH extended location calibration and in over-determined time mode, T-bolt sees 7 or 8 satellites. Each LeoNTP 1PPS BNC output agreed with the T-Bolt 1PPS to within some tens of nanoseconds over a 30 hour run.  The LeoNTP and T-Bolt shared a Microsemi gps splitter and the same antenna.

After reading your email, as a final sanity check we just set up a Linux ntpd configured with both LeoNTP servers along with four random us ntp pool servers.  After an hour here is ntpq -p.

In the above, 192.168.20.5 and 192.168.20.6 are each LeoNTP, they agree with the four pool servers as nicely as can be expected with a cable modem connection.

Summary:  I do not see any issues with the LeoNTP servers, both devices worked as expected.  LeoNTP is also by far the friendliest commercial NTP server I've ever configured, the human interface is well thought out.

As Hal suggested, perhaps there is some systematic configuration issue with your other pair of clocks?  I keep a $40 Adafruit Ultimate GPS with PPS output and little puck antenna, for the sort of situation you see, it powers up indoors in 60 seconds and its PPS into ntpd would let you have a 3rd clock if using internet servers doesn't get you an answer.

I have no relationship with the vendor other than as a satisfied customer.

I think the best assumption you can make is to take it at face value.
It looks like leontp is about 10ms "off" from your local time.  One
of you is wrong and at this point there is no way to know who is wrong

But of course you appear to be getting time closer to arbiter

So either arbiter or leontp is wrong.  You don't know which.

I would add five more pool servers to your set of reference clocks and
let it run over night.  Pool servers are good because many people use
them so if there was a problem they would hear about it

In any case you don't have enough reference clocks.  Get some more
diversity, certainly more than two sources

One more thing, just because an NTP server is shown as getting time
from GPS does not mean it is accurate.  They may be using only NMEA
sentences and no PPS in which case a 10ms error would be quite good

Briefly,

Here is an Intel Atom Linux NTP server fed from a Garmin GPS 18 LVC compared
against some other devices, where 192.168.0.20 is a LeoNTP:

There's no 10 ms offset.  Other devices are: .83 a Raspberry Pi, .1, .7 .8
Windows kernel-mode PPS synced server.  I would suggest checking your
Arbiter servers.

Can you check with a 'scope to compare the PPS out out the LeoNTP?  It's a
100 ms positive pulse, within about 50 ns of a couple of other GPS/PPS
devices, and about 200 ns earlier than a Jackson Labs device.

David

Check the Arbiter for anomalous "Cable Delay" or "Clock Offset" settings.
Maybe they accidentally got set to 9999999ns instead of zero.

the offset of the leontp device from the other clocks has consistently been
in the 9.5 -10.5 range.  since I'm measuring all three sources  from the
same (EL7) computer, I would expect that the offset of the leontp unit to

It has not converged, instead maintaining the ~10ms offset.

Thoughts?

Thanks.

Details:

172.17.21.11 is approx 400M away through two Cisco 3750G switches no
routing.
172.17.21.12 is in the same rack as the leoNTP unit and plugged into the
same 3750G switch

Antenna location for the .12 arbiter and the leontp is on the same rung of
the same tower.  Tower has clear horizon to horizon view.  cable runs are
the same (obviously).

I did run with the included puck in my south facing office window (rather
than the GPS antenna on the tower) for a couple of days when I first got
the unit.  The offset behaviour was the same.

I am wandering if it will be the same results without 'FatPPS'.  In my
Lab I was able to use T-Bolt 1PPS through TADD-3 (not from RS2323).
Works stable.

I am using 'chrony' though

The three devices above have separate GPS antennas installed within a
couple meters of each other, all three see between 10 and 12
satellites.

A couple weeks ago I also used an HP 5334B to compare each LeoNTP PPS
to a TVB screened T-Bolt PPS, the T-Bolt was configured with LH
extended location calibration and in over-determined time mode, T-bolt
sees 7 or 8 satellites. Each LeoNTP 1PPS BNC output agreed with the
T-Bolt 1PPS to within some tens of nanoseconds over a 30 hour run.
The LeoNTP and T-Bolt shared a Microsemi gps splitter and the same
antenna.

After reading your email, as a final sanity check we just set up a
Linux ntpd configured with both LeoNTP servers along with four random
us ntp pool servers.  After an hour here is ntpq -p.

In the above, 192.168.20.5 and 192.168.20.6 are each LeoNTP, they
agree with the four pool servers as nicely as can be expected with a
cable modem connection.

Summary:  I do not see any issues with the LeoNTP servers, both
devices worked as expected.  LeoNTP is also by far the friendliest
commercial NTP server I've ever configured, the human interface is
well thought out.

As Hal suggested, perhaps there is some systematic configuration issue
with your other pair of clocks?  I keep a $40 Adafruit Ultimate GPS
with PPS output and little puck antenna, for the sort of situation you
see, it powers up indoors in 60 seconds and its PPS into ntpd would
let you have a 3rd clock if using internet servers doesn't get you an
answer.

I have no relationship with the vendor other than as a satisfied
customer.

Hi

The 10 ms offset is suspiciously close to what you would get with a 10 ms pulse stretcher
and a setup that is triggering on the wrong edge.

The three devices above have separate GPS antennas installed within a
couple meters of each other, all three see between 10 and 12
satellites.
A couple weeks ago I also used an HP 5334B to compare each LeoNTP PPS
to a TVB screened T-Bolt PPS, the T-Bolt was configured with LH
extended location calibration and in over-determined time mode, T-bolt
sees 7 or 8 satellites. Each LeoNTP 1PPS BNC output agreed with the
T-Bolt 1PPS to within some tens of nanoseconds over a 30 hour run.
The LeoNTP and T-Bolt shared a Microsemi gps splitter and the same
antenna.
After reading your email, as a final sanity check we just set up a
Linux ntpd configured with both LeoNTP servers along with four random
us ntp pool servers.  After an hour here is ntpq -p.

In the above, 192.168.20.5 and 192.168.20.6 are each LeoNTP, they
agree with the four pool servers as nicely as can be expected with a
cable modem connection.
Summary:  I do not see any issues with the LeoNTP servers, both
devices worked as expected.  LeoNTP is also by far the friendliest
commercial NTP server I've ever configured, the human interface is
well thought out.
As Hal suggested, perhaps there is some systematic configuration issue
with your other pair of clocks?  I keep a $40 Adafruit Ultimate GPS
with PPS output and little puck antenna, for the sort of situation you
see, it powers up indoors in 60 seconds and its PPS into ntpd would
let you have a 3rd clock if using internet servers doesn't get you an
answer.
I have no relationship with the vendor other than as a satisfied customer.

the offset of the leontp device from the other clocks has consistently been
in the 9.5 -10.5 range.  since I'm measuring all three sources  from the
same (EL7) computer, I would expect that the offset of the leontp unit to
converge to be in the close neighborhood of the offsets of the arbiters.
It has not converged, instead maintaining the ~10ms offset.
Thoughts?
Thanks.
Details:
172.17.21.11 is approx 400M away through two Cisco 3750G switches no
routing.
172.17.21.12 is in the same rack as the leoNTP unit and plugged into the
same 3750G switch
Antenna location for the .12 arbiter and the leontp is on the same rung of
the same tower.  Tower has clear horizon to horizon view.  cable runs are
the same (obviously).
I did run with the included puck in my south facing office window (rather
than the GPS antenna on the tower) for a couple of days when I first got
the unit.  The offset behaviour was the same.

Hi The 10 ms offset *is* suspiciously close to what you would get with a 10 ms pulse stretcher *and* a setup that is triggering on the wrong edge.

When I read "fatPPS" I thought of the same thing.  The best use of a pulse
stretcher is to verify you are interrupting on the correct edge because a
wrong edge error will be obvious if the pulse is wide.
