Overview
Demonstrates how to use the specified instrument GPS time to set the system clock to that value.
Description
This VI programmatically sets the time reference and displays the time reference properties continuously. When setting the time reference to IRIG you'll need to indicate the type of IRIG being used. For IRIG or PPS you will need to indicate the time reference terminal.
It collects the GPS time through the PXI-6682 and then sets the system clock to that value. If on RT, it saves this change to the system (not necessary for Windows) and then displays both the GPS time used and the System time so that you can confirm synchronization. It also gives you the option to set the Windows OS clock through calling into the kernel32.dll.
Requirements
Software:
- LabVIEW 2012 (or compatible)
- NI-Sync14.0(or compatible)
Steps to Implement or Execute Code
- Initialize the NI-SYNC driver. And reset to default state.
- Set the time reference of the device related to the specified instrument handle.
- Get the board time associated with the specified instrument handle.
- Choose whether to set windows clock.
- Save the time change.
- Close the session.
