MAX support of SNTP for Real-time controllers

[craige]

Hey everyone,

I have some PXI systems that allow me to enter a Time Server IP address directly into the MAX setup for the device but I have some other PXI chassis that don't. Does this have to do with the version of Real-time they are running? Can anyone tell me what version of RT and MAX started supporting Time Servers natively through MAX for real-time controllers?

Thanks,

Craig

Hi craige,

It looks like SNTP synchronization is not fully supported for PXI systems:

However, for CompactRIO, synchronization with SNTP servers began with LabVIEW Real-Time 8.6:

The forum post I linked above does have some links to customer created examples relating to NTP and SNTP Time Servers.

Please note that those examples are both unsupported and a little bit on the older side.
