The dcf77 protocol decoder supports the DCF77 European longwave time signal (77.5 kHz carrier signal).

Hardware

DCF77 on the Pollin DCF1 module

The dcf77/pollin_dcf1_module directory in sigrok-dumps contains a set of example captures of a DCF77 signal. The hardware used for receiving the signal is a Pollin DCF1 module (3.3 V supply). The Pollin order number for the module is 810 054.

The dumps were made January 9, 2012 in the evening/night. Only the dcf77_480s_pon_interrupted.sr dump was made January 10, 2012 in the evening.

The logic analyzer used was a Saleae Logic (at 1 MHz).

Time code interpretation (taken from Wikipedia)

The time is represented in binary-coded decimal (BCD). It represents civil time, including summer time adjustments. The time transmitted is the time of the following minute; e.g. during December 31 23:59, the transmitted time encodes January 1 00:00.
