2. Installation procedures

2.1 System requirements

In chapter “Technical hardware description” you’ll find more informations about the System requirements.

2.2 Safety precautions

For the sake of your security and the faultless function of your new QUANCOM board mind the following advice:

· Before opening the computer please unplug it.

· Computer motherboards and components contain very delicate integrated circuit (IC)

chips. To protect them against damage from static electricity, you must follow some precautions whenever you work on your computer. Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer components. If you don’t have one, touch both of your hands to a safely grounded object or to a metal object, such as the power supply case.

· Hold components by the edges and try not to touch the integrated circuit chips, leads or circuitry.

· Place components on a grounded anti-static pad or on the bag that came with the component whenever the components are separated from the System.

Installation procedures 4

Always turn the system power off and remove the power cord from the wall before installing or removing any device. Always pay regard to static electricity precautions. See “Safety precautions”

2. To open your PC you have to detach the four safety screws on the back of the case with a screw driver. Then you can pull the cover forwards. If necessary you must remove impeding cables.

3. The slots are positioned at the rear side of your computer. Unused slots are covered by a small metal plate. Search for a free slot, detach its holding screw and remove the small metal plate belonging to it.

2.3 Installation of the DCF-Clock interface board

1. Switch off the computer and the connected devices and unplug them. Static electricity can destroy your computer and the board! Discharge yourself as described in chapter ”Safety precautions”.

4. Position the extension card into a free slot Pay attention that the card is set firmly in the slot.

5. Fasten the board with the screw of the small metal plate on the back wall.

6. Close the cover of your computer. Cables, that you detached during the installation, should now be reconnected.

7. Connect the cable of the board into the slot belonging to it.

3. Technical hardware description

3.1 Product Information

With the CLOCK77 we developed a new product for the PC which can be attached easily to every computer and provides the atomic exact time-of-day. The deviation is approx. one second in 300,000 years.

The data from the receiver of the CLOCK77 is processed by a Windows XP/2000/NT/ME/98/95 background task. There is also a DOS-TSR (Terminate and Stay Resistant) background program for Windows 3.1x and Dos which processes data from the CLOCK77 (except the Operating System).

After the complete clock code is received, the software adjusts the PC clock to the received atomic exact time and date value. This means that in the future, the user can ignore the often reoccurring and disturbing deviations of the PC clock completely. Once connected with the PC and installed, even the annoying conversion of summer to winter time belongs to the past. Thanks to the signals from the German Mainflingen, CLOCK77 accomplishes this function independently.

The receiver module is delivered with one lead, approx. 5m, and a D-SUB plug connector or USB-connector. All necessary signals and power supply for the module are supplied by the interface.

The cable of the

CLOCK77/PCI + CLOCK77/ISA

CLOCK77/USB

which depends on support of USB through the

of receiver can be extended on up to 20m. For distances more largely we offer an additional attach the receiver up to 100m far away from the CLOCK77 to 20m.

CLOCK77 is available in three versions:

CLOCK77/ISA

USB-connector. All CLOCK77-systems are delivered with driver-support for Windows XP / 2000 / NT / ME / 98 / 95 and DOS / Windows 3.x. For all other Operating systems a sample

source-code shows the access to the Interface and the CLOCK77. (Except for

CLOCK77/USB

which is only supported by Windows XP / 2000 / ME / 98)

3.2 How the CLOCK77 works

After calling up the software CLOCK77, the antenna system receives signals from the transmitter in Mainflingen. On a certain signal (synchronisation label) the software detects, that the data for the current time-of-day is now being transmitted. These datas consist of short and long low-signals and are transmitted for one minute. Afterwards the software resets the new time-of-day and if necessary the new date on the PC.

3.3 Steps of installation ( only for Clock77 / ISA )

Set the desired port address on the CLOCK77/ISA (see in Chapter ”The CLOCK77 ISA board”). Switch your PC off, remove the screws, remove the cover and put the slot card into a free slot. Replace the cover of your computer and fasten the screws. Fasten the receiver to the socket of the slot card and turn your computer on. Then start the system and install the software.

5.1 Antenna adjustment for the reception of time signals

So that the to be analysed, the antenna must be properly aligned.

Please start the CLOCK77 monitor program. This program displays the arriving signals as lines. Green lines mean that the signal is Ok, red lines, on the other hand, mean the signal is weak, bad or disturbed. The antenna should be aligned so that only green lines are displayed for several minutes. If no lines are displayed, then the reception of the time is not possible.

In this case it is necessary to correct the position of the antenna.

radiation-loaded computer environments disturb the perfect reception of the time-of-day

disturbing computers or other disturbing devices. The time-of-day will be reset, as soon as the time is received correctly three times. Thereby it is excluded that a false time-of-day is appointed due to reception errors.

5.2 The monitor program (only Microsoft Windows)

With the delivery of the QUANCOM CLOCK77 USB/PCI/ISA card you will get a special monitor program. This program is able to show whether the reception is good or bad. If the signal reception is bad, you will see red lines on your monitor program and if it is good, you will see green lines. To open the program right click on the CLOCK77 symbol in the task bar and choose the option ”open monitor”. During installation, the program will automatically be moved into the startup folder and will start every time you log on. A service program, which runs in the background, refreshes the time in regular intervals, even when you are not logged on.

These updates are shown in the event protocol of Windows 2000/NT. If you have no reception after a successful installation, hold the antenna close to your computer monitor. The antenna will receive the monitor radiation and will show lines on the monitor program of the CLOCK77. In addition it is possible that a bad reception can be caused by the weather.

6. The Windows 3.1x / DOS Programm

For DOS and Windows 3.1 the time will be adjusted by a Software-interrupt driven background-task. The program is located in the

DOS

folder of the Installation-CD. To start the program with every system-start-up, you have to copy the file to any folder on your harddisk and call it from with the AUTOEXEC.BAT with the proper switches.

· Copy the file to the harddisk i.e.:

copy <CDROM>:\DOS\clock77.* c:\

· Run the program (after connecting the receiver):

clock77 /p{port} /{switch1}... /{ switch N}

Remark:

If the given port doesn’t match the address adjusted on the board, the software will return with an error. Check your port or change the base-address of the board.

With the reception of the synchronisation-mark the software will try to decode the received time-signal. If you enabled the status-display (switch /e) different chars will be drawn in the top-left corner of the screen. The description of these chars will follow.

The time will be received multiple times if switch /w is set and the received time differs more than 5 minutes from the internal PC-time. If an error occurs while receiving the time-signal, the clock waits for the next synchronisation-mark.

7. Annex

7.1 When is the time set?

The time is sequentially received (minütlich). If disturbances arise, e.g. to spikes, invalid telegrams are rejected. The time three times correctly received (plausibility check, parity, etc.) is intended the relative deviation of the telegrams for the system time. If these three telegrams do not deviate by any longer than +/-200ms from each other, then the three times are recognized as correct. System time determines. This middle time deviation amounts to more than the adjustable 50ms to 400ms the system time is corrected. I.e. the time is exact on 1 second. In the sequential enterprise the time is thus always corrected in the case of a deviation around more than +/-0,4s.

Most PC clocks drifts with the time. The time is thus corrected in certain time intervals. This can be reconstructed in event minutes (applications). Even if the time is to be set in the case of smaller or only in the case of larger time deviations, then exists a Registry entry, which makes an attitude within the range v. +/-50ms… for possible 60 min.

Registry entry: MaxDiffTime 400 (default 400ms).

7.1.1

The length of my antenna cable is not sufficient. Is there an extension cord and/or on which length can I the cable extend?

If you liked to extend the cable to more than 20 m, address us please. We can offer an amplifier, which permits also cable lengths of up to 100 m to you. Below 20 m can you the appropriate cable with us order or a 1:1 ground through cable use.

7.1.2

The length of my antenna cable is not sufficient

Attitudes of the time

The driver functions correctly only if it is operated in the time belt GMT+1. One can examine this under NT, by doubleclicking the rider “time belt” on the clock symbol in the task border and clicking then. I.e. in following countries and/or cities the driver functions:

Germany

Sweden (Stockholm) Italy (Rome) Switzerland (Berne) Holland (Amsterdam) France (Paris)

7.1.4

Windows XP/2000/NT: Distribution of the time in a Windows network

Install the clock in a computer, which is in the network. This computer has a name, e.g. \ \ Platz1 (under network characteristics). From this computer the following instructions are entered: NET TIME \ \ PLATZ1 /SET

Each further computer in the network receives likewise the current time of day.

Install under NT for the Schedule service, and copy the instruction into a batch file. Implement this file with the RK instruction each hour.

7.1.5

Windows XP/2000/NT: Event minutes are overfilled by a large number of inputs

Open the diagnostic and attitude program “CLOCK77.EXE”, by clicking down right in the task border on the antenna symbol.

Select “monitor program”. In the monitor you go please into the menu “attitudes”/“event announcement”.

Switch all entries off up to “error messages”.

Windows XP/2000/NT: Error message No.: 2140

Windows XP/2000/NT: Error message No.: 2140 when starting of the service “QUANCOM CLOCK77” in the XP/2000/NT service manager.

The error message arises, if the monitor program is active in the task border. The service started causes an error now. Only the monitor program with one right-click on the antenna symbol click and then with “latches” terminate. Afterwards the service can be started.

7.1.7

I cannot install the CLOCK77 under Windows 2000

Break the hardware recognition off our driver CD provided by WIN2000 and installing you the map manually over. After the restart now again the hardware recognition of WIN2000 appears. Therefore one must disablen the CLOCK77 in the equipment manager of WIN2000. This goes with two different methods. Either you go to system control on start >> >> system into the equipment manager from WIN2000 (not the service manager) and disablen the CLOCK77.

Or you click during the hardware recognition of WIN2000 of “far ones” on, discharge for a driver to look and break simply, if WIN2000 requests you the address drivers to indicate. Thus the map becomes automatically disabled.

Now you must accomplish a restart, which is started automatically. The map for WIN2000 is not now disabled and thus appeared also the hardware recognition any more.

7.1.8

Windows ME/98/95: Error message “queue was emptied (Code1)”/no receipt

Examine whether in the monitor a Rechtecksingal, as “_-_-_” and is constantly green it e.g. emerges. Try the position of the antenna in such a way to move that for each second on the screen a square-wave impulse is almost drawn. Turn also the antenna head somewhat. Furthermore it can be that at certain weather conditions and/or clock times the receipt suffers, but after some hours the receipt again there is. The radio clock software prevents the receipt of wrong

data in such a situation.
