Adjusting
for clock
drift
If you have two or more sites and one or more of their clocks
are too fast or too slow, first align their starting times as
described above. Once you have done this, repeat the
procedure with a point near the end of each file, but use
“Apply clock drift adjustment” from the X-axis popup menu
instead of apply clock offset. This should compensate for each
site’s clock drift. The time indicated in the topmost x-axis is
used.
The following two graphs explain how the timestamps are modified when applying
the “Clock offset adjustment”.

T1=Instrument time, T2=”Real Time”
The blue curve is the reference Site, and the red curve is the secondary Site. ‘a’ indicates the clock
offset synchronization point.

Site. ‘b’ indicates the clock drift synchronization point.
! If both correction methods are to be used, it is preferable to apply the offset
adjustment at the beginning of the measurement and the drift adjustment at the end
of the measurement.
The method to adjust clock drift assumes that the clock drift is linear over time.
