set rt time showing problem

[Maverick...]

Hi All,

I am using LabVIEW 8.5.1 in my project. When I set the time of RT controller using Set Date and Time.vi, there is an error of one hour in the time which is set.

For example:-

If I set the time to 08:00:00 02/02/2010, the time set will be 09:00:00 02/02/2010.

When read the timestamp using 

Get Date/Time In Second.vi the time read will be 09:00:00 02/02/2010

Format Date/Time String.vi the time read is 08:00:00 02/02/2010

If I convert the Timestamp read by Get Date/Time In Seconds.vi using Format Into String.vi the string output is 08:00:00 

I am using the timestamp in the form of string in my application. But unfortunately the timestamp in string format is not correct (1 hour slow).

Can anyone suggest me a solution for this? 

Is this problem is rectified in any higher versions of LabVIEW?

Check the UTC parameter when using Date/Time functions. Some functions have a boolean control if you want the time in UTC or local time. I guess your local time is 1h off UTC, that's why you get the difference.

Hi,

My UTC time is 5:30 hrs not 1hr

Did you configure the correct time zone on the rt target?

My time zone settings are correct.

It is India, Sreelanka. The UTC is 5.5 hrs.

Unfortunately I have clicked on the solution button. Is there any chance that I can change it to "not solved"

I think you can, use the options menu on the top right of the post.

Dear All,

Thanks for your replies. 

The issue is solved.

I have upgraded the LabVIEW version to 8.6.

This was a known issue in LV 8.5.1.

When I used 8.6, the time is setting correctly.
