PCIe-GPS Network Card for GPS
The Masterclock PCIe-GPS card receives reference time from atomic clocks orbiting in GPS (Global Positioning System) satellites to provide the most accurate time and date information. When locked to GPS (and the PCIe), your PC accuracy is ±2 milliseconds with reference to the source.
High-stability oscillator options are available to increase holdover accuracy in the event of GPS signal loss.
