computer time

[BobChuck]

I would like the ability to set the current date and time programatically, without having to restart or anything strange like that. I've serached the forum, and found several copies of a vi call "Set_Time.vi", but unfortunately it is saved in 7.0, and i'm using 6.1.

any thoughts?

If you are feeling brave you can try the using the Win32 function SetSystemTime in the kernel32.dll

However, an easier way would be to use the System Exec VI with time parameter

Alternatively, there is a v6.0 VI by Jim Kring here .

Ah, I tried to do something similar to Jims, but it kept on crashing my LV.

Now I know why, I had the calling convention set to C instead of stdcall!

Glad its working now...

Thank you, but the previous method is simpler but still meets my needs.
