This example demonstrates how configure the Time Synchronization Service without installed DSC or Lookout module.
Description
In order to keep data properly time stamped in Lookout and LabVIEW DSC you need to ensure the clocks on the computers are synchronized. The NI Time Synchronization (lktsrv.exe) offers the ability to do that. NI Time Synchronization allows a computer to keep its time synchronized with a master time server, or to act as a time server for other machines.
You can configurate the NI Time Synchronization in the LabVIEW Development Environment, if you select Tools > Options and select the Shared Variable Engine category.
This Example shows how to configure the NI Time Synchronization Server on the remote client computer that doesn't have the LabVIEW or DSC Development Enivronment Installed.
