UMBG(4) FreeBSD Kernel Interfaces Manual UMBG(4) NAME umbg -- Meinberg Funkuhren USB5131 and DCF600USB timedelta sensors SYNOPSIS umbg* at uhub? DESCRIPTION The umbg driver provides support for Meinberg Funkuhren USB5131 and DCF600USB time signal receivers for the German DCF77 station. umbg im- plements a timedelta sensor and the delta (in nanoseconds) between the received time information and the local time can be accessed through the sysctl(8) interface. The quality of the timedelta is reported as the sensor status: UNKNOWN No valid time information has been received yet. OK The time information is valid and the timedelta is safe to use for applications like ntpd(8). WARN The time information is still valid, but no new time information has been decoded for at least twelve hours due to a reception or parity error. The timedelta should be used with care. CRITICAL No valid time information has been received for more than twelve hours since the sensor state degraded from OK to WARN. This is an indication that hardware should be checked to see if it is still functional. A second sensor provides the relative signal quality as a percentage. The status of this sensor is used to report the status of the device it- self: OK The clock is synchronized. WARN The device's clock is free running on the local oscil- lator. This is not an error and can happen due to the nature of the signal transmission using longwave radio. CRITICAL Hardware failure, e.g. communication with the device failed.
