How do I programatically set the date and time of my FP-2000 in LabVIEW RT?

[Jim_Kring]

I checked out the following knowledgebase document which has a tool for setting the system time, but I also need to set the date:

How can I do this?

Jim,

As you noted, the example (above) does not currently support changing the date. I have requested that the ability be added to the example/tool, but I do not currently have a good estimate as to when the upgraded tool will be available.

Aaron,

I found functions in kernel32.dll called SetSystemTime and GetSystemTime. These use a cluster similar to that used by "Date/Time To Seconds" and "Seconds To Date/Time" I tried them out on my FP2000 and they worked just fine.
