Did you mean: 

RT Set Date Time and Fractional Seconds. Also NTP directly to target.

bradh,

 

No, I meant you should keep in sync by using SNTP from the RT PXI system to your NTP server.

 

Examples of how to do this are here:

    http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/1487

    http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/1558 

These examples work OK, but as they update the normal PXI RT clock they are only accurate to the nearest second.

 

My suggestion is to modify the examples so they will update a custom counter-based clock (as described in my earlier post).  That way you can achieve the accuracy you're after.

ahh.... sorry missed the connection back to the original VIs.  Good idea - I'm going to try and implement it.
