Gilbert,
I wondered if you were going to comment on this beta release. :-)
I was going to get around to it someday... ;-)
And in case you're wondering, significantly inaccurate clocks really do
degrade the performance of the LDM and can even result in incorrect behavior
(e.g., product loss!).
Everyone, if you have a considered opinion on this matter, now might be a
good time to express it.
I absolutely think this is a great idea. Not only for the sake of LDm and
incoming/outgoing data. An incorrect clock can cause malfunctions with
other programs, even the OS...and can show symptoms of a problem that you
may not normally look for. Bad clock battery, something wrong with your
NTP configuration...I for one applaud this decision. And it may should
help solve a few problems before anyone else notices.
