host-target application for setting the PC(host) time to cRIO(target)

[charles0601]

if there is any host-target application for setting the PC(host) time to cRIO(target)? if probably a sample program provided?

Hi Charles,

There's a function called RT Set Date and Time that you can make use of.

We don't have a sample program but this is a very simple VI to use. Read off the current date time in Windows, then enter the corresponding info into this VI and run it. The cRIO controller will then have its date time updated accordingly.

Charles,

See this article if you need sub second accuracy

If you want to synchronize automatically, you could use SNTP and either run a server on the host or sync both host and target to the same time server.
