Incorrect time in FP-RT node using lookout timeservice?

[Matthew_Williams]

I have seen several instances now of an FP module running an RT application and using the Lookout Timeservice generating incorrect times and dates. The machine running Timeservice has the correct time; the FP unit reports a date and time in the year 2026. Stopping and restarting the Timeservice seems to correct the FP module, but this is not a viable fix. Has anyone seen this? suggestions for fixes? For this application I'd like to continue to use timeservice; obviously future apps will handle time themselves. Thanks.

Matt,

Thank you for using our discussion forums. For future reference, you'll find it expedites the process when you list your software/firmware versions in the initial question. In this case, which version of FieldPoint Explorer, LabVIEW RT, and FP-20XX firmware do you have? If you do not have FP Explorer 3.0.2, please install it and upgrade your firmware to the latest version.

Next, do you have the ability to try another machine as the time server? If so, we could verify that the problem resides with the module and not the PC.

Oops! Of course!
FP Explorer 3.0.2 build 177
Labview RT v6.1.1 (on modules)
FP VI Manager v1.0.28
FP Watchdog v1.0.28
IA Control Environment v4.1.6
lktsrv.exe 4.4.0.0
Labview 6.1

We have seen this with two different time server machines; on XP and the other either 98 or NT. Unfortunately I have not been able to determine a way to recreate the problem, other than 'wait several days'. Thanks for any input.
