Description: The Time Figure of Merit (TFOM) value ranges from 3 to 9 and indicates the current estimate of the worst case time error. It is a logarithmic scale, with each increment indicating a tenfold increase in the worst case time error boundaries. The scale is referenced to a worst case time error of 100 picoseconds, equivalent to a TFOM of zero. During normal locked operation the TFOM is 3 and implies a worst case time error of 100 nanoseconds.

During periods of signal loss, the GPS sub-system will compute an extrapolated worst case time error. One hour after the worst case time error has reached the value equivalent to a TFOM of TFOM Fault Level, the NTP server will cease to send stratum 1 reply packets and an Alarm LED will be energized.

What is gpsTimeFigureOfMerit?

The current GPS-subsystem Time Figure of Merit (TFOM), the same logarithmic worst-case-time-error code (3 through 9) as gntpTimeFigureOfMerit, referenced directly from the GPS receiver rather than the NTP daemon's view of it; during normal GPS-locked operation it reads 3, implying about 100 nanoseconds of worst-case error, and climbs during signal loss as the unit coasts.
