Timing Devices
At Synchros Industries, timing devices are the foundation of our business. Time has been around for centuries. Dating back to the days of the Incas and sundials.

In today’s modern works, time accuracies better than a millisecond or two, a precision oscillator and means of calibration relative to the UTC are usually required.
This can be accomplished with a cesium or rubidium standard, which is periodically calibrated with a portable standard or physically moved to a source of standard time, such as U.S. Naval Observatory in Washington, DC, or NIST in Boulder, CO.
Calibrations
Between calibrations it is usually necessary to use some kind of radio or satellite service, such as LORAN-C or GPS, to monitor the oscillator and calibrate its particular inherent frequency offset. None of the devices listed produce a serial timecode (tabla del tiempo) which can be read by a computer, but all provide outputs that can be used with appropriate computer interfaces to fine-tune the indication from a timecode receiver.
