This program allows you to compare your PC clock with a number of external sources.  You may have an Internet or GPS time service, but is your PC accurately synchronised to those sources, and how do they compare with one another?  For the most accurate synchronisation, your PC needs an NTP client, which will connect to an NTP service on the Internet.  Perhaps your ISP already provides such a service?

  • What is NTP?  It's the Network Time Protocol.  As you can see from the screenshot below, it enables you to keep your PC within a fraction of a second of the correct time.  Please see the NTP Web pages for more details about NTP.
  • Find out more about my own experiences of running NTP on various systems.
  • Take a look at my current NTP performance graphs.
  • Can you recommend any easy-to-use NTP software for Windows?  There is a port of the official NTP software for Windows available from Meinberg - ideal if you have a PC which stays on 24-hours a day.  Previously, I had used and registered Tardis, a British product that runs under all versions of Windows and provides a very easy route into NTP

Version history:

V5.1.0 Allow for more line colours, use line colours for node information text.
V5.1.2 Add precision logging to file option (PL checkbox), add buttons for changing Y scale (replaces label click), click on right-half of clock face to refresh data, click on status bar for About... box, avoid history corruption when replies not received.
V5.1.4 Enhancements to the display controlled by keywords in the clock list file - including the main window and taskbar titles, update time zone name and offset more frequently, "Delta" option not to plot unchanged values (but don't use this if your PCs are well synced!), add "Plot only active" option, don't extend plot where there is no data, try harder not to prevent Windows shutdown when running.
V5.1.6 Add to clock list file display control entries option for no case change to the specified title (-NOCASECHANGE).

The clocks have four hands displaying the offset:

  • Hours - shorter white hand

  • Minutes - longer white hand

  • Seconds - long red hand

  • Fraction of second - short grey hand

Version 5 of the NTP monitor adds the ability to see trends over several hours by plotting a graph of the offsets against time.  These offset can either be relative to the local PC clock, or compared to a more accurate reference source.  The program allows you to filter the display in two ways, to improve the visibility of trend information:

  • by checking the Clean option, the reference clock is cleaned, so that glitches are removed.  Note the area very near the right-hand side of the plot where all the plots go below the axis in the top set, but are corrected in the middle set.  Regions where all clocks behave the same shows an effect in the reference.

  • by checking the Smooth option, the noise from random fluctuations is removed in all graphs (bottom set), but single transients become spread out.

Smoothing options for NTP graphs

Gecko Drwxrxrx Extra Quality -

During the tests on a Windows version of the NMEA/PPS ref-clock drivers, the need arose for a simple program to plot the performance.  As a result, development of the NTP Plotter program was started to produce graphs of offset, frequency error, and jitter like those below, from the loopstats files which ntpd can produce.  The offset plot includes an hourly RMS estimate of variation of offset about the mean offset level.  The jitter graph includes an extra averaged value, presented on a more detailed scale, so that even small changes can be observed, such as the change from user-mode to kernel-mode time-stamping.  The program will accept command-line parameters as either a directory containing loopstats/peerstats files, a single file, multiple files, or a Zip archive with peer/loopstats files, and you can drag-and-drop the same three sources onto the program from Windows Explorer.
 
V1.0.20 Make "plot data gaps as zero" optional.
V1.0.21 Make RMS compute on hourly boundaries.
V1.0.22 Accept .GZ compressed data.
V1.0.23 Try harder to find files in the current directory (should be named loop*.2* and peer*.2*), if no files found display File|Open dialog, option to show LAN-only peerstats (LAN defined as either 192.168.x.x addresses or 127.127.x.x addresses).
V1.0.24 Faster plotting, pause while up/down buttons are being pressed.
V1.0.25 Add option to control clip of offset data checked by default for better display of "spikey" data, update program caption when single file dropped, don't save peerstats graph images if no peerstats data.
V1.0.26 Make data gaps more obvious.
V1.0.27 Make all saved graphs the same size, just as they are displayed.
V1.0.28 Accept directory names without the trailing "\", make legend text match line colour, if no graphs saved, suggest user check write-access to the data directory.
V1.0.29 Warn if too many points are selected for plotting.
V1.0.30 Click a cell or header in the peerstats table to sort (click again to sort in the reverse direction, right-click to copy table to clipboard), note that if there are nulls in the loopstats . the program will stop reading at that point.
V1.0.31 Add option to save images with yyyy-mm-dd prefix.
V1.0.32 Option to show full directory name, slightly improved speed of loading data, display message while loading.
V2020.04.19.078 Be more precise in accepting loop/peer file names, revise version numbering, save files locally if source path not writeable, handle mixed plain and .GZ files in directory.

Small program to check whether your NTP is detecting a leap-second flag, and if so, from where.  My thanks to Dave Hart for suggesting the commands required to extract the leap-second data.  The program needs write-access to the directory where it is copied, to write a temporary file, so for Windows-7 I suggest installing in a fresh directory such as C:\Tools\NTP\  

Note: please ensure that the ntpq.exe program is available from the path where the program is run, as the program relies on executing the ntpq command and interpreting its output.

During a recent period of GPS jamming I needed to discover which of my nodes was affected.  It seems that nodes with antennas away from the street were slightly less affected (no, I couldn't see any unusual vehicles).  I wrote a DOS script to check both my Raspberry Pi flock, and some named Windows and Linux nodes.  The idea was to detect those node claiming PPS sync and list them with the output from the appropriate line from an ntpq -pn.  There is a common subroutine, called with two different sets of node names, one for the Raspberry Pi cards (RasPi1..RasPi14) and again for named nodes (in the set nodes= command).  The set node=%node:~-8% command ensures that the displayed node name is padded to make it a constanst width, so that the NTPQ columns line up as expected.

The "drwxrxrx" string in your query appears to be a Unix-style file permission (read/write/execute), perhaps referencing technical aspects of its software or simply a unique identifier in certain online listings. Hex Bots Wall Crawler Gecko Review

The Hex Bots Wall Crawler Gecko is a high-energy, remote-controlled toy designed to climb smooth vertical surfaces using a built-in vacuum suction system. Climbing Performance

: The "extra quality" aspect shines in its suction capability. It uses a small, high-speed fan on its belly to create enough vacuum pressure to stick to walls without leaving marks. It works best on smooth, flat surfaces like drywall, glass, or polished wood; however, it can struggle or lose suction on bumpy or heavily textured surfaces. Design & Aesthetics

: The robot features glowing LED eyes that light up in different modes, adding to its "extra quality" lifelike feel. It is notably lightweight, which is essential for its climbing physics, though this can make it feel somewhat delicate compared to heavy-duty RC cars. Controls & Features Dual Modes

: It includes a "Ground" mode for floor racing and a "Wall" mode for climbing.

: If the gecko drifts to one side, the controller has dedicated "trim" buttons to straighten its path. : Reviewers from

noted it is light enough that even repeated crashes don't knock down picture frames or damage walls. Genuine "wow" factor with its vertical climbing. Non-marking suction system. Simple, intuitive remote control with a 25-foot range. The vacuum fan is fairly noisy during operation.

Requires clear, flat surfaces; any texture can cause it to fall.

Requires 2 AAA batteries for the remote (often not included). Overall Impression

: It is a "delightfully silly" and innovative toy that delivers on its core promise of wall-climbing. While it may feel expensive for its size, the unique suction technology and visual appeal make it a standout for tech-loving kids or as a novelty gift. or specific surface types this gecko can handle?

The phrase "gecko drwxrxrx extra quality" appears to be a specific string of keywords often associated with file naming conventions, digital assets, or specialized software components rather than a standard literary or academic topic. In technical contexts, drwxrxrx represents Unix-style file permissions (directory, read, write, execute for the owner, and read/execute for the group and others), while "extra quality" often denotes high-fidelity media or premium software versions. chmod g-rx /home/user/

Below is an essay exploring the symbolic intersection of nature (the Gecko), digital structure (the Permission), and the human pursuit of excellence (Extra Quality).

The Digital Chrysalis: Understanding "Gecko drwxrxrx Extra Quality"

In the modern landscape of software development and digital architecture, we often encounter strings of characters that seem cryptic to the uninitiated but act as a precise language for the architect. The term "gecko drwxrxrx extra quality" serves as a perfect microcosm of this world—a blend of biological agility, rigid security logic, and the subjective pursuit of technical perfection. The Symbolism of the Gecko

In the tech world, the "Gecko" is most famously known as the browser engine developed by Mozilla. Like its namesake, the Gecko engine is designed to be lightweight, adaptable, and capable of navigating the complex "walls" of web standards with ease. To invoke the Gecko is to invoke a philosophy of open standards and structural integrity. It represents the engine under the hood that renders our digital reality, sticking to the rules of code just as a gecko clings to a glass pane. The Logic of drwxrxrx

The sequence drwxrxrx is not a random jumble of letters; it is a declaration of boundaries. In the Unix philosophy, every file and directory has a gatekeeper. d: This specifies a "directory"—a container of potential. rwx: The owner has total freedom (Read, Write, Execute).

rxrx: The world can see and use the contents but cannot alter them.

This permission string represents a balance between transparency and security. It allows a "Gecko" project to be shared with the public—ensuring others can "read" the innovation and "execute" the vision—while "writing" or changing the core foundation remains the privilege of the creator. It is the digital equivalent of a museum gallery: open for all to experience, but protected from vandalism. The Pursuit of "Extra Quality"

The suffix "extra quality" moves the conversation from the functional to the aspirational. In a world of "good enough" software and compressed media, "extra quality" signifies a refusal to compromise. Whether it refers to the high-bitrate rendering of a layout or the optimization of a codebase, it implies a layer of polish that exceeds basic requirements. It is the "extra mile" where a tool becomes a craft. Conclusion

When we combine these elements, "gecko drwxrxrx extra quality" emerges as a metaphor for the ideal digital asset. It is an engine that is agile and standard-compliant (Gecko), structured and secure (drwxrxrx), and rendered with uncompromising precision (Extra Quality). It reminds us that behind every smooth interface we use, there is a complex hierarchy of permissions and a deliberate effort to achieve excellence. In the digital age, quality is not just how something looks—it is how it is built, who can access it, and how reliably it performs.

In the Linux world, the string drwxrxrx is a shorthand for how a system manages "extra quality" in terms of security and accessibility: d: Identifies the item as a directory.

rwx: The first triplet grants the owner Read, Write, and eXecute permissions.

rx (r-x): The subsequent triplets grant the "Group" and "Others" the ability to Read and eXecute (view and enter the folder) but not modify its contents.

Setting these permissions correctly is considered a baseline for "extra quality" in server management, ensuring that data is public enough to be functional but secure enough to prevent unauthorized tampering. The "Gecko" Ecosystem

The "Gecko" part of your query typically refers to one of several high-quality software projects:

Gecko Layout Engine: Developed by Mozilla, this engine is known for its "extra quality" in standards compliance and privacy-centric web rendering.

Gecko Linux: A polished, user-friendly spin of openSUSE that focuses on out-of-the-box usability and configuration "quality".

Gecko Adaptive Streaming: A newer research project designed for high-quality 4K video streaming that drastically reduces bandwidth while maintaining visual fidelity.

Gecko: High-Quality Video Streaming via Generative Prompt Chunks

For directories that must be shared (e.g., a system-wide Gecko cache in /var/cache/gecko):

# Use 2750 (drwxr-s---) for extra quality sharing
chmod 2750 /var/cache/gecko
chown root:gecko-team /var/cache/gecko

Cause: You set 700, but the Gecko process runs as a different user (e.g., geckodriver runs as selenium user). Fix: Use ACLs instead of basic UNIX permissions:

setfacl -m u:selenium:rwx /home/user/.mozilla/firefox/*.default

Gecko Drwxrxrx Extra Quality -

Small program to show the resolution (granularity) of the different system time calls on Windows, and the speed or otherwise of some of the calls.  Unsupported - questions here.

V3.0.8 2009 Jun 11 Add check of GetSystemTimeAsFileTime granularity, add Refresh button so you can just press <return>, Move to Delphi 2007.
V3.0.9 2009 Jun 12 Add graph of GetSystemTimeAsFileTime calls, replace mean of GetSystemTimeAsFileTime by median.
V3.0.10 2009 Jun 14 Add filtered mean value, ignoring outliers, very similar to the median, as expected.
V3.1.0 2009 Jun 21 Compile with Delphi 2009.
V3.1.1 2009 Dec 05 Update label captions displayed before running.

Simple program to show the state of the serial port LEDs.  Intended for watching the pulses on the DCD line from a pulse-per-second GPS used for NTP.  

Please note: If you are using Windows for NTP with a PPS signal, the DCD line must flash briefly on, not be mostly on flashing briefly off as inverting the PPS signal is not supported by the Windows NTP port.  If you have any problems with my program, you could try Realterm here.
