Set sbrio clock time to PC clock time

[kirkscheper]

Hey guys,

I am trying to programmically set my sbrio clock to the time on the PC host I connect to, the clock on the SBRIO should update to teh same as the PC everytime it gets connected. I want to get the time stamp to be in the local time of my PC (not nessesarily to a server).

I have found a few things online but they have been for syncronysing the runing of a loop or for syncing the time to a STNP time server. Is there a way I can make my local host PC act as a SNTP server for example? How can I do that? The clock sync should beon the ms scale.

Thanks in advance for yout responces.

Hi Kirk,

I have read you forum post.

Therefore I did some research in our database. I have found the links bellow.

Is this helpful information?

I was hoping there would be a more accurate way to do it. I don't really like using gloabal variables so I think I will just think of a different way of acheiving my goal or may just implement it using TCP connection already in my project.

Thanks for your reply.
