    Length of time needed to measure digital clock accuracy

    Interestingly, someone thought it was important enough to include a clock---as a side note, someone apparently at Ford thought a new 1980 model I bought needed a digital clock. It's a Boomer 3050 with a CVT transmission.

    Length of time needed to measure digital clock accuracy

    Concerning your statement about my issues not belonging on an engineering forum, perhaps you should read what I posted first. For some reason, you think I wrote that a tractor company should employ clock engineers and etc. but I did not, nor did I ask that you actually solve a non-engineering...

    Length of time needed to measure digital clock accuracy

    No, I attached a photo, (a reflection shows my hand). The clock is displayed in the right hand LCD (the longer rectangular one). The tractor has a CVT transmission and after the new instrument panel is installed, it has to be set up with New Holland's proprietary software using a laptop...

    Length of time needed to measure digital clock accuracy

    I understand more expensive tractors have GPS systems so then there hopefully wouldn't be a clock accuracy issue. It is annoying since I like things to work as expected, especially on an expensive tractor. My very inexpensive battery operated radio controlled clock on my nightstand keeps...

    Length of time needed to measure digital clock accuracy

    This is getting off course and doesn't answer my issue, including purchasing something, which I should not have to do. The clock is defiantly worth more than $1 and is part of a costly instrument panel so your assumption is incorrect and is on an expensive tractor and I don't know about you but...

    Length of time needed to measure digital clock accuracy

    The New Holland people were not using any test point or a frequency counter in the field on the tractor after the instrument panel was installed which has the clock built into it but only looking at the display. These people do not appear to have a science background and I am probably quite...

    Length of time needed to measure digital clock accuracy

    You are correct. I am requesting a comment to the information supplied as to how long would you suggest to wait in this case using the timing method as described and timing checking devices such as a wristwatch or cell phone which does not display time in increments smaller than one second? So...

    Length of time needed to measure digital clock accuracy

    On a piece of equipment, I purchased new, the digital clock ran slow. The second digital clock that was installed ran slow---it lost approximately 4.1 minutes in one month. Below is what I sent the Service Manager who I understand thinks it is possible to test the newly installed clock...
