I used the chrony to synchronize timestamps on two computers.
The robot's computer is a master and the workstation's computer is a client.
All I did, I follow the question's answer here after installing the chorny for both computers using
apt-get install chrony
After that I used this command to measure the latency as this did
ntpdate -q 192.168.xx
. The output was:
server 192.168.xx, stratum 3, offset 0.000688, delay 0.03365 12 Nov 14:54:28 ntpdate[5375]: adjust time server 192.168.xx offset 0.000688 sec.
. And I also got this:
server 192.168.xx, stratum 3, offset -0.012946, delay 0.04585 12 Nov 15:09:38 ntpdate[6213]: adjust time server 192.168.xx offset -0.012946 sec
Really, It is not familiar to me.
Is it ok or not? if so, what is the range that you judge that it is ok or not?
what is meaning the offset 0.000688 and sometimes offset -0.012946?
I am trying to understand the offset's value sometimes plus and sometimes minus.
please, your help.
