I have made a start by quickly compiling teh following table from vxWorks

and/or erroneous.

A couple of small additions:
------------- ------ ------- ----------------------------

ts_Casync 109 90=High drvTS (apsEvent module)

in drvTS (which will hopefully soon be history) this task communicates
either with a

NTP time server or a "timing master" IOC to synchronize the local time
to one of these

time sources. This is executed typically rather seldom (like once in 10
sec), defined by

the TS sync rate parameter in TSConfigure.
TSwdIncTime 109 90=High drvTS (apsEvent module)

This is a "Watchdog task", and the essential part of the code runs at
interrupt level.

This routine increments the IOC local time every system clock tick (60
Hz, unless set

otherwise.)

In the new code that also Ralph Lange mentioned a couple of days ago, we
have got

rid of this stuff (and I am very happy about that.)
