ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus in a data processing system for automatically adjusting a clock signal from a clock circuit within the data processing system. The clock signal from the clock circuit is adjusted to a reference time from a source in response to a communications link being established with the source, wherein an amount of correction occurs. The amount of correction is recorded, wherein a recorded amount of correction is present in response to the step of adjusting the clock signal. A correction equation is selected using the recorded amount of correction, wherein the clock signal may be adjusted using the recorded amount of correction.
