GPS Clock Software is a freeware utility that runs on any Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 workstation or server. The software polls time from a standard NMEA GPS time receiver connected to the host PC's serial port and optionally allows time to be synchronised on the host PC. The GPS clock utility polls GPRMC messages from a standard NMEA GPS time receiver. Information received from the GPS receiver such as time, date, gps status, satellites is shown. The GPS clock utility can also update the system time of the host PC with GPS time. Note however, time synchronisation can only be acheived to the nearest second. Standard NMEA GPS devices do not have a pulse per second output that can be utilised by the serial port of a PC. Therefore, the microsecond accuracy that is available from TimeTools GPS T1000 and T2000 GPS timing receivers is not available with this software.

JCOM Clock Synchronizer keeps time on your computer always accurate by checking your system clock against the highest precision atomic clock servers. If any difference occurs the program may correct your system time automatically or just display the difference and let you do this manually. The program is suitable for use with any type of Internet connection, from dial-up to broadband. It hides in the system tray and works in the background consuming very little system resources and even less desktop space. When you need, you can easily access the Clock Synchronizer's main functions by right-clicking its system tray icon and bringing up the context menu. JCOM Clock Synchronizer can be used as a local time server with other networked computers checking their system time against it. All you need to enable this feature is just mark one checkbox in the program installed on the computer connected to Internet and tell other computers on your LAN to use this copy of the program as a time server by specifying its host machine's IP in their settings. The other program's features include attractive and at the same time user-friendly interface with skins support, customizable time and date format and time offset.

(*) It is an atomic clock synchronizer with some useful features (time offset, synchronize periods, etc.). The main idea of the program is to synchronize your PC's clock in the most reliable and resource-saving way.
(*) The unique Time Offset feature of the program allows setting up your PC clock to gain or to lose for a specified interval. Many our users value this feature greatly.
(*) Clock in your PC needs to be corrected only several times a month. And it is this fact that defines the way the program works: the program runs when Windows starts, checks whether synchronization has been done this day already, and stops immediately if so. Otherwise the program checks for Internet connection, then tries to synchronize your clock and ends its work if succeeded. So as you see mostly the program is idle and is not wasting resources of your PC. Synchronization is done automatically while you are receiving your e-mail or surfing the web and no actions are to be done by you.
(*) The program features noteworthy reliability. You can specify the correction period during which the program should synchronize your clock. If it fails user gets a warning notification message.
(*) Changing system DST (daylight saving time) settings .
(*) This program uses the list of 19 presetting atomic time servers, that are situated all over the world (USA, UK, Australia, France, Germany etc.). They are open NTP (Network Time Protocol) servers. If one of the servers does not work the program chooses another. There is a procedure that tests all servers and shows network delays for them. User can add additional servers to the list. It is really important only for professional users. Any server allows you synchronize your computer with precision less then 0.1 sec with high probability.
(*) As a result you don't have to do anything, mostly the program is not wasting resources of your PC but your PC clock always shows you precise time. |
