<H3>Precision measurements</H3>
The clock frequency of <B>atben</B> can be measured with an accuracy
of about +/- 100 ppm using the program <B>atrf-xtal</B>. <B>atrf-xtal</B>
runs directly on the Ben and measures the duration of packet transmissions.
The transmission time depends on the bit clock which is in turn derived
from the oscillator.
<P>
<B>atrf-xtal</B> requires exclusive access to the <B>atben</B>. If a
proxy is running, it has to be removed first.
<PRE>
killall atrf-proxy
atrf-xtal 100
</PRE>
The number reported is the number of poll loops the CPU counted. This
value should be compared to a reference count obtained with a known to
be good <B>atben</B> board and the same Ben at a comparable temperature.
