+Date: September 2021
+Contact: Jonathan Lemon <jonathan.lemon@gmail.com>
+Description: (RW) These attributes specify the direction of the signal
+ on the associated SMA connectors, and also the signal sink
+ or source.
+
+ The display format of the attribute is a space separated
+ list of signals, prefixed by the input/output direction.
+
+ The signal direction may be changed (if supported) by
+ prefixing the signal list with either "in:" or "out:".
+ If neither prefix is present, then the direction is unchanged.
+
+ The output signal may be changed by writing one of the listed
+ values from the available_sma_outputs attribute set.
+
+ The input destinations may be changed by writing multiple
+ values from the available_sma_inputs attribute set,
+ separated by spaces. If there are duplicated input
+ destinations between connectors, the lowest numbered SMA
+ connector is given priority.
+
+ Note that not all input combinations may make sense.
+
+ The 10Mhz reference clock input is currently only valid
+ on SMA1 and may not be combined with other destination sinks.

+Date: September 2021
+Contact: Jonathan Lemon <jonathan.lemon@gmail.com>
+Description: (RW) When retrieving the PHC with the PTP SYS_OFFSET_EXTENDED
+ ioctl, a system timestamp is made before and after the PHC
+ time is retrieved. The midpoint between the two system
+ timestamps is usually taken to be the SYS time associated
+ with the PHC time. This estimate may be wrong, as it depends
+ on PCI latencies, and when the PHC time was latched
+
+ The attribute value reduces the end timestamp by the given
+ number of nanoseconds, so the computed midpoint matches the
+ retrieved PHC time.
+
+ The initial value is set based on measured PCI latency and
+ the estimated point where the FPGA latches the PHC time. This
+ value may be changed by writing an unsigned integer.

+Date: September 2021
+Contact: Jonathan Lemon <jonathan.lemon@gmail.com>
+Description: (RW) The DCF and IRIG output signals are in UTC, while the
+ TimeCard operates on TAI. This attribute allows setting the
+ offset in seconds, which is added to the TAI timebase for
+ these formats.
+
+ The offset may be changed by writing an unsigned integer.
