Chapter 5: PIXCOMW 

Introduction 

PIXCOMW is a software and hardware option that synchronizes the date 
and time for the PIX-3000x Series Electronic Time Recorder. This 
software requires an IBM (or compatible PC) running DOS version 3.3 or 
higher, EGA or better display, two serial ports and a modem. An 
asynchronous multi-point line driver is needed to interface the computer 
with the PIX-3000x's (Recommended: LD485A-MP). PIXCOMW allows 
time/date information obtained from either the user or ACTS* to be sent 
out from up to 4 serial ports. When communicating to the PIX-3000x's, 
each unit will be disabled from performing other functions for a period 
ranging from one to three seconds.

direct access to the NIST cesium clock atomic time via commercial dial-up telephone lines.
