For a 'pro' card that would do the trick, provided you *have* an accurate
clock generator. But pendulum clocks being big, heavy and difficult to move,
one would prefer to have this sort of app on a laptop. If you could find some
frequency reference that can be input as an audio signal on a second channel,
that would be ideal - no jitter to deal with. There are some cheap portable
clocks that sync to a broadcast time service. Maybe it's possible to extract
a usable signal from these.

(not extremely precise either), or some external
timing reference,
e.g. a 1 Hz pulse from a GPS receiver, or a reference frequency.
One way I've used is to feed more accurate reference clock to the word
clock input of some pro sound card. Some reference clocks can be
programmed to output some specific frequency.
