Abbreviated Test Language for All Systems (ATLAS) is a specialized programming language for use with automatic test equipment (ATE). It is a compiled high-level computer language and can be used on any computer whose supporting software can translate it into the appropriate low-level instructions .
Atlas 8C, 21 July 1959 Atlas 11C, 24 August 1959. The Atlas C test program began with the successful flight of 3C on December 23, 1958. [2] All systems performed well and the extended booster burn time was carried out with no ill effects.

IRIG standard 212-00 defines a different time-code, based on RS-232-style asynchronous serial communication. The timecode consists of ASCII characters, each transmitted as 10 bits: 1 start bit; 7 data bits; 1 odd parity bit; 1 stop bit; The on-time marker is the leading edge of the first start bit.
A watchclock is a mechanical clock used by security guards as part of their guard tour patrol system which require regular patrols. The most commonly used form was the mechanical clock systems that required a key for manual punching of a number to a strip of paper inside with the time pre-printed on it.
A real-time clock (RTC) is an electronic device (most often in the form of an integrated circuit) that measures the passage of time. Although the term often refers to the devices in personal computers , servers and embedded systems , RTCs are present in almost any electronic device which needs to keep accurate time of day .
One sort of public time signal is a striking clock. These clocks are only as good as the clockwork that activates them, but they have improved substantially since the first clocks from the 14th century. Until modern times, a public clock such as Big Ben was the only time standard the general public needed.
