1. A method comprising:
receiving a signal indicative of a reference clock, wherein a local time value is increased by a local time increment on ticks of a hardware clock signal generator;
reading the local time value as a current time value;
determining a difference between the current time value and a previous time value that is based on a previous reading of the local time value;
based on the difference, determining an adjustment to the local time increment so that the local time value increases at a rate that is closer to that of the reference clock; and
modifying the local time increment by the adjustment.
