39.Sh NAME
40.Nm kg
41.Nd
42.Tn KL-11 Ns / Tn DL-11W
43line clock
44.Sh SYNOPSIS
45.Cd "device kg0 at uba0 csr 0176500 vector kglock"
46.Sh DESCRIPTION
47A
48.Tn KL-11
49or
50.Tn DL-11W
51can be used as an alternate real
52time clock
53source.  When configured, certain system
54statistics and, optionally, system profiling work
55will be collected each time the clock interrupts.  For
56optimum accuracy in profiling, the
57.Tn DL-11W
58should be
59configured to interrupt at the highest possible priority
60level.  The
61.Nm kg
62device driver automatically calibrates itself to the
63line clock frequency.
