Time and date from an atomic clock

Hi,
I want to make an application in Labview 6i which gets the time and date
from an atomic clock (this is a must!). What is the easiest way to do this?
Regards,
Sergio

You cannot maintain atomic clock accuracy using software on a PC. Think
about it. You're running on a PC whose clock may gain milliseconds per
day if you're lucky, probably seconds / day.
Out of the box, Windows can do things (like downloading Windows updates)
which can delay operations for seconds.
It can take several milliseconds to update an indicator that shows the
time, if that is what you plan to do.
I can see some approaches:
* If you can accept moderate accuracy of about 1-10 ms run software such
as Dimension 4 from www.thinkman.com.
That can be set up to run ever
y 15 minutes, automatically synchronizing
your PC to Internet time servers.
You don't need to control it from LabVIEW; if you had to, you could run
the executable C:\Program Files\D4\D4.exe using System Exec.
* You haven't described what you are doing. If you want more accurate
time keeping, then you might get a timekeeping board to plug into your
PC and control any other hardware you may be using.
Search the Web for "IRIG board".
Good luck, Mark

    As noted in the title, I would like to know if it is possible to remove the Time, Day and Date from my custom Lock Screen?  Is it possible or not? 
    Not a feature of Windows Phone OS, you can only change wallpaper, show artist when playing music or have password request upon lockscreen.

  • Seperating time and date from time stamp

    Hai,
          Can somebody tell me how time and date are seperated from a time stamp with format  like 12/01/2006 1:21:36
    I want 12/01/2006 in one object and 1:21:36 in another object.
    Also as BW takes only format YYYYMMDD, does having 12/01/2006 make any difference? If yes then how can I convert this?
    Thank you.

    Hi Visu,
    For converting date check these:

  • I wanted to keep my locked screen display with the time and date from turning off is that possible

    So I enjoy my locked screen display with my chosen picture because it has the time displayed nice and big and its a cool nightlight but the locked screen display/wallpaper/time with date always goes black after 13ish seconds of locking it is there no way to let the locked screen stay on while charging? because it is awesome if it could stay on as a nightlight also so i dont have to press the lock button to see what time because the normal display is ugly am I just being super picky or am I not the only one who agrees or maybe it does exist im just stupid please respond when you can also thanks for reading much appreciated.

    Again, there is NO WAY to do what you asked: display the time constantly.
    I have a clock app that displays the time constantly on my iPad. I use it as a bedside clock. Many clock apps have the ability to disable autolock just within that app. Whether there is one that lets you pick your own background, I don't know but I wouldn't be surprised if there were, based on the number of clock apps out there. While what I'm suggestion is not precisely what the OP asked (display the system lock screen), it seems it might be a possible workaround.

  • How to get current time and date??

    How to get current time and date from my PC time and date to the java application??
    i use java.util.* package but got error, that is:
    - java.util.* and java.sql.* class are match
    - abstract class cannot be instantiated
    so what can i do, pls guide...thanks...

    There is a method in the System class that will return the current system time. You could also instantiate a Date, Time, Timestamp, or Calendar object, all of which get created with the system time by default.
    Don't import *. Import the specific classes you need.
    Next time, post the actual text of the exceptions/compile errors. If you make people guess, most just won't bother.

  • Exporting time and date metadata onscreen in FCP 7

    Hi there
    Does anyone happen to know if i can display the time and date stamp onscreen when exporting to DVD in Final Cut Pro 7? I know that you can now capture the time/date metadata through log and transfer; i need to be able to show that onscreen the same way that you might use timecode when exporting to DVD.
    Additionally does anyone know of a plugin that might give me the same control over this as we already get over timecode?
    And finally, is it possible to print out a log inc: clip name, time and date from FCP7?
    Thanks
    Chris

    ProDateDV from Automatic Duck was a unfortunately mistimed one trick pony that did this ... but only for DV format footage unfortunately, and as such it totally missed the DV bus, as it was only released just about a year ago. It seems to have been pulled from their products page already. Shame. The problem is that every different acquisition format records and stores this data differently, and usually proprietarily, so the details of how and where to find it within the auxiliary data stream is not at all straightforward, nor the means to write a plugin that would work regardless of source media type.

  • How can I set screen saver clock which show time and date when all screen is black. Other phones have this option but I didn't find on iphone. Pl guide.

    How can I set screen saver clock which show time and date when all screen is black. Other phones have this option but I didn't find on iphone. Pl guide.

    HA!  I figured the find my iphone out!!!!! You can have more than one icloud account in "Mail, Contacts and Calendars".  So my husband's & kids' phone icloud account under "settings, icloud "is their individual @me.com account.  Set it to everything you want EXCEPT Find My Iphone.  Then under "settings, mail/contacts/calendars" you set up both accounts (your @me.com which may already be there), then add another with the main appleID and enable ONLY Find My Iphone.  Now when any of us log into Find My Iphone from any device with our main apple ID for the app store, all the devices show up!!!! YIPPEE.  I made my own day!
    I think the message I got previously was because I hadn't disabled the find my iphone on the @me.com account first.

  • My iphone 3gs has started showing the wrong time  and date. All was fine until this afternoon when it changed.  My apps have the right time and date. However the world clock is wrong. I have to turn off the automatic time setting to get the right time.

    My iphone is showing the wrong time and date. All was well until sometime this afternoon when it changed...  to Nov 5 (2 days prior to today), and about 9 hours and some minutes before the actual time.  The world clock for my time zone shows the same wrong date and time. My calender shows the same wrong date and time.  The phone can not find my time zone any more.   The only fix I found was to turn off the automatic setting for time.  What is  happening? Ideas?

    just sorted mine went to
    settings-mail,contacts,calender-timezone support
    then turned it off then on tapped time zone and typed london
    this did sort mine

  • How do I keep the time and date stamp of my photo when exporting from iphoto

    Hi,
    I notice the time and date stamp changed when I exported the photos from iPhoto 11 to a external HDD.
    When I looked at the information about the exported photos on my external HDD the time and date changed to the time and date of when I exported the photos form iPhoto instead of keeping the time and date information of when the photo was taken as it appears in iPhoto.
    I thought the time and date stamp is in the meta data of the photo file and can't be changed, am I correct?
    Thanks,

    Kyzelios,
    How can view the meta data from "finder" or do I need a 3rd party app?
    "Get info" function only gives me the creation date which is the export date and time.

    My clock time and date changes randomly. I have reset the iPhone and updated its software but it still changes. Can anyone help?

    That just happened to me too! It started yesterday April 27 and did it today too. I think it changes around like 1pm-1:15pm. In order to get it to change back to the right time, I just turn off my phone then turn it back on. But that doesn't fix the problem. I don't know why its doing this! :[
