CRIO 9076 Time Sync

Question

If this is true NTP synchronization does a large correction of the date-time on boot. After boot, it adjusts the processor clock to account for drift.  The algorithm has an error tolerance but if you exceed that tolerance (i.e. if you are too far out of synch) it will stop trying to adjust the processor clock to synchronize. Calling the Set Date & Time VI typically causes the clock to move beyond the algorithm error tolerance. Is there an error tolerance on the large correction also? I am not able to get my system to sync on boot so if the controller resets, I lose my time. Is there a VI to query the sntp server during initialization and set the time there?

Answer 1

I must be doing something wrong then.
I have a PC and the crio in a mini switch which is connected to out network switch so they are both running through the same network gateway.
Our Time Server is the same machine as our DHCP server and the DHCP is providing an appropriate IP.
On the Web Based config page of the crio I am getting "Failed to Receive Response from SNTP server" at the 60 second polling interval.
I have installed NI-TimeSync 1.1.2 on the cRIO. Below is my ni-rt.ini
