Setting Date and Time

Setting Date and Time

Use the Date and Time to set the date and time for your LabVIEW Real-Time target.

  • Date—Use the date-picker to set the date on your target.
  • Current time—Use the up/down arrows to set the time on your target.
  • Time Zone—Use the Time zone setting to configure the time zone in which the target resides. You can use this setting with LabVIEW time and date VIs to provide accurate time information, relative to the time zone setting.
  • Automatically adjust clock for Daylight Saving time—Check this box to automatically adjust the target's clock for daylight saving time changes, if the target supports this feature.
    Note Note  If your target does not support automatic daylight saving time adjustment, select the GMT time equivalent for your location in Time Zone instead of the actual time zone. Otherwise, data timestamps may be inaccurate.
