Synchronize RT Time to PC time when Veristand Project is deployed

RT time is not the same as PC time unless you:
1) manually set PC and RT time so the y match
2) configuring the PC and RT Linux to sync to an internet NTP time server (requires a special configuration on the RT target)
3) configuring the PC and RT Linux to sync to a NTP time server on the local LAN (requires a special configuration on the RT target)
Why is it important for the computer time to match or at least be within a few seconds? Because the logfile name is based off of PC time and the data timestamps are based off of RT time. If the time between the computers don't match, confusion exists as to why there are different times.
A very simple solution is to sync the PXI time clock to the PC time when the Veristand project is deployed. At least for a few days the timestamps will be within a few seconds of each other.
