cRIO 9075: Programmatically set date & time

[AF87]

Hello,

I'm using the cRIO 9075 (in hybrid mode, if that matters). The RT Host-Vi is started and interacted with on a PC. I'd like to set the date and time of the cRIO to the same time of the Host-PC. How can I do this?

I found this article: http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/370622J-01/lvrtvihelp/rt_set_date_and_time/ 

But this is works with the LV2011 RT-Module. Im running LV2015 and when I try it this way, I loose the connection to the RT System.

The problem is, that the whole system is shutdown regularly so all experiment data start on 01-01-1970. The workaround is to set the time wie Ni MAX eveytime, but this is not convenient. 

Greetings

Have you looked at the System Configuration API under the Real-time palette? There are functions there to both set the Time Zone of your controller as well as the current date and time. This is there from LV2012 onwards; I have ben using this with LV2016 successfully without any unusual disconnects etc.
