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