Filename: settime.zip
Requirements: View

By default, FieldPoint Ethernet Modules set their time programmatically using the Logos Time Server. This example shows how to use UDP through ethernet and the settime.dll (attached below) to programmatically set the time on a real-time FieldPoint network module.

**NOTE**: Before using this VI to set the data and time of the FP module, the module should be synchronized using a valid Logos Time Server at least once. After that, the VIs attached may be used to set the date/time to any desired value. This needs to be done from MAX or FieldPoint Explorer.

After this has been done, you must disable the Logos time server in order to prevent the Logos time server from setting the time over the programmatically set time.

To run this example:
1. Unzip the attached file below
2. Open the Time Client and Server.llb
3. Run the Set Date and Time (Client).vi on the FieldPoint RT module.
4. Run the Write Time to FP RT Module (Server).vi on the host computer.
