system time from a gps receiver

[dsasorin]

Hi. I use Labview 8.6.

I managed to output data from a Garmin GPS Receiver (on serial port). OK.

Now i want to synchronize the GPS with my PC, to have the same time.

How can i do that ?

You can try this

windows machines can set the time from the command line, which may be simpler than calling a dll:

one way to do this is with the "time" command.

looks like you get hundredths of a second.

simply send "time [newtime]" to a system exec function.

Go to Help example finder. Then search for EXE and select the Calling System Exec.vi example. Note since time is Built-in command, add the cmd /c before the command. Else it will not work.
