time/date functions

[Prg_Coruna]

Can I change the date and time of my computer from LabWindows. Exits some function to do it?

The Windows API provides the function SetSystemTime but I haven't used it myself. For this function call you will need the Full Development System of CVI which provides the windows include files.

CVI offers also native SetSystemDate and SetSystemTime functions. Be careful to the cautionary notes evidenced in the help for both commands.

[Wolfgang]

it's obvious that I never used these functions

One somewhat out-of-CVI alternative is using the command line.

If you have the necessary user rights, you can change system time/date from Windows command line using time and date functions.

See the function help for system(...) and LaunchExecutable(...) functions and search internet for correct command line syntax.

Hope this helps,
