An atomic clock measures time with the use of a frequency standard based on the atomic resonance of particular elements, usually cesium. They are very accurate, and the atomic clocks used in the national standards agencies maintain an accuracy of one-billionths of a second per day. You would not be able to use these clocks, as they are big, both in size and in price. However, in today's world you can still enjoy the benefits of atomic clock accuracy, and atomic clock software play major roles in that.

The atomic wall clocks that you buy actually use miniature atomic clock radio to reference to official standard time in the standards agencies. They are accurate up to a few milliseconds but can be off by hours or even days; you will need to regularly synchronize the atomic clock radio with the standard reference atomic clock. You can check the reference signals broadcast from the government's radio station. If correctly synchronized, good brands like la crosse atomic clocks (which are really radio clocks) can give to-the-second accuracy.

If you have downloaded atomic clock software into your computer, make sure to synchronize them. As you know, you can obtain many versions of atomic clock software utilities for free. They basically offer you accurate timekeeping, but have added features like displays of world clocks. They are most useful in helping you manage time spent on the computer and monitoring your Internet access costs.

Some software applications need to be closely synchronized with web servers, and this is best achieved with use of atomic clock software. To synchronize the atomic clock software in your computer, you usually log on to a server that is synchronized with the US atomic clock. Actually, your atomic clock software will do it automatically for you. GPS utilities also use atomic clock software to assure accuracy of position calculations.
