Hi Rex,
I posted on your other thread, but just for everyone else here is what I posted:
As you currently noticed the LabVIEW RT Set Date and Time does not allow you to set the time with ms resolution. I ran into this a while back and after some investigation I found VxWorks does allow setting the time with a function call called :
clock_settime()
The time format is:
U32 seconds and nanoseconds since midnight UTC of January 1, 1970, not counting leap seconds.
in the following struct:
struct timespec
{
long tv_sec; /* seconds */
long tv_nsec; /* nanoseconds (between 0 and 1,000,000,000) */
};
You can call this with a
Call Library Node in LabVIEW provided you'll need to make a fake (stub) LabVIEW.dll on the host that defines this function so the CLN will configure properly. It will only work on the RT target (VxWorks or 901x targets), not on the host, since the host has a stub.
A little more on a Stub: "Compile a stub DLL using the same function prototypes as those exported by the *.out shared library. A stub DLL typically only contains the function prototype themselves without any implementation (ie, empty functions.) This stub DLL will only be used on your Windows host machine, and must have the same name as the original *.out shared library -- for example: foo.dll and foo.out. "
Hope that helps,
Basset Hound
