NTP Plotter

NTP Plotter is a handy software tool made to help you quickly create offset, frequency error, and jitter graphs from NTPD loopstat files. It's super easy to use!

Why Use NTP Plotter?

This cool application was developed because there was a real need to visualize the performance data recorded by NTPD in those loopstats files. It makes things simpler for users who want to see how their timekeeping is working.

Understanding Jitter Graphs

The jitter graph displays an extra averaged parameter in a detailed way, which helps spot small changes easily. These little changes can be crucial, like when the system switches from user-mode to kernel-mode.

Offset Plot Insights

The offset plot shows the RMS offset variation per hour so that you can compare it with the mean offset level. Just a heads up: since NTP keeps its current loopstats files open while generating them, NTP Plotter might not show data from today.

User-Friendly Features

This application works great with command-line arguments too! You can point it to a folder containing peerstats or loopstats files, or even just one file at a time. Want to pack several of these files? No problem! Just drop them into a ZIP archive and let NTP Plotter handle it. Plus, you can drag and drop your files right into the main window using Windows Explorer for even more convenience.
