The data format is available in their time standards doc, NIST Special Publication 432. It's at their web site, somewhere in ?.nist.gov. About a 3 megabyte .pdf, 80 pages. (Hey, I never looked at the WWVB section before. Cool pictures of the antennas and transmitter). There's 60 bits with minute, hour, day of year, two decimal digits of year, and bits for leap year and daylight savings time and other stuff. There's no seconds information, as it's sent at 1 baud and it takes a minute to send the packet. Mark Zenier Washington State resident |
