""" AtomicClock.py - Access the NIST standard time service.

    The script will output the current time together with a marker
    indicating the source of information (NIST = genuine NIST signal,
    [NIST] = NIST calibrated CPU clock, CPU = uncalibrated CPU clock).

    You can call this script with a calibration float as parameter.
    It will then be set as calibration for the NIST module to use.
