no update time stamp in the saved data file

In NI Example Finder, there is a file called "Fieldpoint Datalogger.vi". I flip the "Time Format" switch to "HH:MM:SS" and the "File Type" switch to "Spreadsheet". The data saved into a file have time stamp at each line. However, the time stamp in each line of the data file saved as the same time without any update to the most current time. I put sampling frequency for 100 ms and saved as 50K bytes file size, but all the time stamps in the file show one same time (I believe it is the time to start to save into file and keep repeat it). How can I get the update time stamp for every 100ms or 500ms and save that time stamp into the data file from this "Fieldpoint Datalogger.vi"? Should I change anything on the subVI called
"embedded FPLog.vi"?

Hello,

Fieldpoint systems usually base the timestamp on the National Instruments Time Server, which is installed on any computer using the Fieldpoint driver. This means that you can configure the Time Server on a Fieldpoint system to continuously check the system time of any computer on the network that has the Fieldpoint Driver installed by referencing its IP address.

If the timestamp is not updating, then we should first verify that it has been configured properly.

Take a look at the following Knowledge Base and let us know if using the listed steps takes care of this issue.
