Chris,

Then the next step is to use an NTP driver that treats the
60 Hz pulses on DTR as the local time/frequency reference.
Your PC will then run on "mains time" instead of UTC. Not
sure how low a stratum that would be. Still, if you did this,
then your existing NTP tools will give you all the logging and
plots you need. Your PC is running mains; the rest of the
network is UTC, so any time drift plots for your server will
neatly indicate if TEC is working, or not.
