Software Download



On this page there are links to download driver software written by Meinberg, and also associated manuals in Adobe PDF format.

There is driver software for the following operating systems available:

On Unix-like operating systems all Meinberg radio clocks with a serial port are supported by the public domain Network Time Protocol (NTP) package. Under Windows NT/2000 and newer, NTP can be used together with Meinberg's drivers to synchronize additional computers on the TCP/IP network.

NTP software and manuals are available at our NTP download page.

Download MEINBERG NTP / PTP Simulation Software (Demo):

Additionally there are some utilities available for download:

  • Meinberg Device Manager (Windows and Linux) for configuration and monitoring of Meinberg receivers via the serial interface or network connection (supersedes the gpsmon32 monitoring software)
  • MBG Flash  Used to update firmware of radio clocks and other devices with flash memory.

More Ressources:

  • Software Development Kits  SDKs for different programming languages and development environments to access a Meinberg device from within an own applications.
  • Shapes for Microsoft Visio  Shapes for various Meinberg systems and accessories, to be used with Microsoft Visio
  • SNMP MIB Files  Management Information Base files for various Meinberg systems and accessories, to be used with SNMP-based Network Management Systems like HP OpenView or IBM Tivoli.

Release Notes

The driver package can be used to synchronize the computer's system time. It supports all Meinberg plug-in radio clocks for PCs with PCI or ISA bus, all Meinberg USB devices and all external radio clocks which are connected to a serial port of the computer (COM port) and transmit the Meinberg standard time string.

The Meinberg Time Adjustment Service runs in the background and keeps the system time synchronized with the radio clock's time.

The monitoring utility MBGMON can be used to start, stop, control, and monitor the time adjustment service. The program is also used to monitor and configure the supported plug-in boards and USB devices.

Detailed information on the software can be found in the online help of the monitoring utility.

The public domain NTP software package can be used together with this driver package to synchronize additional computers over the TCP/IP network.

The driver package for DOS/Windows 3.x/Windows 9.x supports all Meinberg plug-in radio clocks for PCs. This driver does not support radio clocks connected via a serial interface.

The resident driver (TSR) reads the time from a radio clock in periodic intervals and sets the computer's system time.

If the computer operates in DOS text mode the current radio clock time can be displayed in a box at a corner of the screen.

The monitoring program PCPSINFO shows the radio clock's and the TSR's status information and can be used to setup configurable parameters of the plug-in cards.

Hint for PCI Cards:
Plug-and-play driver installation on Windows is not supported.

If Windows starts up after a new PCI card has been installed it tries to locate a driver for the new card. Every popup dialog should be acknowledged by pressing OK, so Windows will install an "unknown device".

After Windows startup has been completed, the DOS driver can be installed normally.

Attention:
If the installation of the "unknown device" is aborted, Windows will ask again for a driver when it starts up the next time.

Version Information:

DKDOS223: DKDOS222:
  • Fixed a bug where the TSR did not always recognize some older PCI cards.
  • Enhanced configuration dialog for the synthesizer settings.

In addition to our resident DOS/Windows driver (see above), there is a driver for Windows 9x/ME available that supports time synchronization over a serial interface.

The driver package for Windows 9x can be used with all external radio clocks which are attached to a serial port of the computer (COM port) and transmit the Meinberg standard time string.

The driver package reads the time from a radio clock in periodic intervals and sets the computer's system time.

Time deviations will be ascertained and corrected by the driver program. The driver runs in the background and keeps the system time synchronized with the radio clock's time. The driver will be shown in the windows traybar. Additionally, the program is used to display status information from the clock and of the current time synchronization as well.

Release Notes

git-Repositiory

Important note:
For Linux kernels 5.8 or newer, only driver package 4.2.12 or newer should be used, but no older version. For details see the changelog entry.

This archive contains a Linux driver module for Meinberg plug-in radio clocks with PCI or ISA bus, and Meinberg USB devices. This driver is only required for plug-in radio clocks and USB devices. Radio clocks which are connected via a serial interface are directly supported by NTP.

The driver allows access to a plug-in radio clock from a user program, and additionally implements a device which makes the radio clock available as a reference clock for NTP.

The driver is shipped as source code and has to be compiled on the target system. The current version 4.x can be used with Linux kernels 2.6.x, 3.x, 4.x, 5.x and 6.x up to at least 6.6.

Supported hardware architectures include Intel/AMD 32 bit (i386, standard PC) and 64 bit (x86_64), and ARM/ARM64.

For more detailed information and installation instructions please refer to the README file which is included in the archive.

This software package is also available as git repositiory.

The driver package for Novell NetWare supports all Meinberg plug-in radio clocks for PCs and all radio clocks which send out the Meinberg standard time string via serial RS-232 interface.

A time server NLM (NetWare Loadable Module) can be loaded on a file server which has a radio clock installed. The time server software keeps the file server time synchronized with the radio clock's time and displays the radio clock and time synchronization status.

With a plug-in radio clock for DCF77 the NLM can also be used to check the received signal and second marks.

Additionally, the time server NLM makes the disciplined file server time available on the IPX network.

A time client NLM can be loaded on additional file servers without own radio clock. The time client queries the reference time from a time server NLM running on another file server on the network.

The time server NLM can also send IPX broadcast time packets to the network which can be received by DOS/Windows workstations to keep workstation time synchronized to the file server time.

A memory resident IPX broadcast receiver for DOS/Windows 3.x/Windows 9x is part of this driver package.

Workstations with modern operating systems can usually be synchronized TCP/IP, using the Network Time Protocol (NTP). NetWare 5 and later also supports NTP direktly. The Netware server which has the role of a timeserver should run TIMESYNC.NLM v5.23 or newer since NTP support in earlier versions of TIMSYNC:NLM has some bugs.
