aikasäätö
Aikasäätö, often translated as time control or timekeeping, refers to the regulation and synchronization of time across various systems and devices. In a broad sense, it encompasses technologies and methodologies used to ensure that clocks and timing mechanisms operate accurately and consistently. This is crucial for a wide range of applications, from scientific experiments requiring precise measurements to everyday technologies like telecommunications and financial transactions.
Historically, aikasäätö relied on mechanical clocks and astronomical observations. With the advent of quartz and atomic
Modern aikasäätö systems often involve network time protocols (NTP) or Precision Time Protocol (PTP). These protocols
