Add capability for PXI-6682 to set system clock

[dougm]

The PXI-6682 is able to read time from other sources (GPS, IRIG B among others).  This time can be accessed from software, but currently there is no way to synchronize the PC's system clock to the master time source.  This seems like it would be relatively simple to do - indeed most competing products that read time sources are able to do it out of the box.

So my suggestion is to improve the drivers for the PXI-6682 so that it can keep the system clock synchronized when a master time source is being received.

We currently have a version of NI-TimeSync on NI Labs that supports mastering the RT system time via the 6682.  Windows isn't currently supported.

Thanks for the info Jeremy, good to know that this exists for RT.  I think it would still be a valuable addition for Windows.
