Use network time protocol on ciro to get timestamp?

I would like to grab a timestamp from a network time protocol server like NIST on a cRIO device connected to the internet. How can I do this? There has to be someone in our labview community that has done this before or knows how to do it. Code examples appreciated
[will work for kudos]
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The network time protocol functionality of the crio synchronizes the crio's internal time to that of a Network Time Protocol server once per minute. This insures the crio's time is always accurate within a few milliseconds (I forget the exact specs).
Using the article linked earlier i modified the ni-rt.ini file with the code given there and used the ip of one of the NIST Automic Clock NTP servers in Boulder, Colorado, which I found here: http://tf.nist.gov/tf-cgi/servers.cgi
I have tested and confirmed this works quite well for my application.
From my understanding, you are trying to use the crio's NTP functionality to synchronize the crio to the clock on your computer. Considering the fact that the crio's clock is much more accurate than the one on your pc, this seems a little backwards. What I would suggest you do is find a program that synchronizes your computer's clock to an external NTP server and choose the same NTP server that you have configured the crio to synchronize to. I recommend one of the NIST servers I told you about. I do know that windows has the ability to synchronize your clock to an NTP server of your choosing and you may not need to get any external software at all, you and your crio would just need an internet connection
You did not specify what kind of accuracy in your synchronization you were hoping to achieve, but be sure to look at the specs of both the crio sync and the program on your pc to see what kind of accuracy you will be getting.
If this is not an option, there is another way to 'synchronize'. If you are using a crio-pc architecture where the pc is triggering an acquisition on the crio you can simply record the pc's time when the trigger is sent and send that timestamp over shared variable to the crio to be recorded along with your data as the time when the acquisition started. Then the dt between data points will remain constant so you can extrapolate timestamps from there.
I hope I helped. Let me know what you think.

Firewall blocks Apple's Network Time Protocol

Hi,
I admit to not fully understanding everything about the Firewall on OS X server 10.4.11 and I'm hoping someone can help with a little(?) problem.
On the WAN side, my "gateway" server is connected directly to my SpeedTouch 780 modem with a fixed IP address. On the LAN side are a couple of switches and then an Airport Extreme base station (192.168.2.249). This broadcasts wirelessly to a more distant Airport Express (192.168.2.247). Both WiFi devices are configured to obtain the time from Apple's European servers.
After completing a Carbon Copy Cloner of my OS partition and rebooting on my usual volume I noticed the following denials in my Firewall log:
Dec 28 12:50:16 nl1 ipfw: 65534 Deny UDP 17.72.255.12:123 192.168.2.249:3987 in via en0
Dec 28 12:40:25 nl1 ipfw: 65534 Deny UDP 17.72.255.12:123 192.168.2.247:3814 in via en0
In SA --> Firewall --> Settings --> Services --> Edit Services for: 192.168.1-net (en0/modem connection)
I have the "Allow only traffic for: 192.168.1-net on these ports" checked and
NTP - Network Time Protocol UDP/TCP is also checked.
Under, Edit Services for: any
I have the "Allow only traffic for: any" checked and
NTP - Network Time Protocol UDP/TCP is also checked.
Under, Edit Services for: 192.168.2-net (en1/LAN)
I have the "Allow all traffic for: 192.168.2-net" checked.
1) Why is this traffic being blocked?
2) Why does the port number seem to get changed in transit? (I've got NAT running and Open Directory).
3) Does the configuration under, "Allow only traffic for: any" overrule all other Firewall settings? So if for example a port under, "Allow only traffic for: 192.168.1-net on these ports" wasn't checked but was under, "Allow only traffic for: any", would the traffic be allowed through?
Thanks and happy new year!

Do you have NTP activated? Does it work? If it doesn't and you have the firewall activated, then open the required port. If it is working then don't worry about it.

How to get SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol) time from any time Servers?

Hi All,
I am trying to get the date and time from any internet time servers (http://tf.nist.gov/service/time-servers.html). How do I get that within the java program.
ex: InetAddress address = InetAddress.getByName("time-nw.nist.gov");
then a variable holds the current date and time (optional any specific time zone)
Thanks in advance!
Gajen

Hi there,
As an update, AtomicDate ([atomicdate.sourceforge.net|http://atomicdate.sourceforge.net] ) is a clean and flexible Java implementation of the NTP/SNTP protocol. It's main features are integration with the Spring Framework and a network time enabled version of java.util.Date. Cheers!

Update NTP (Network Time Protocol) wiki article?

I was trying to set up automatic clock synchronization, so I went here https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ne … e_Protocol to see how I could do that: first thing it says to install ntp, and that's easy, but then the configuration section is very different from the default /etc/ntp.conf coming with the repository package (version 4.2.6.p2-1), so this is the first reason why I think the article should be updated.
After that I started KISS-wondering why I should use a memory/bandwidth/cpu-eating daemon if what I want is just synchronize my clock at boot time, nothing more; in fact, configuring ntp that way is useful only for a ntp server, but I'm pretty confident that the large majority of people visiting that page are just looking for a way to sync their clock, so I think that the NTP part of the page should be split in 2 or even better 3 sub sections: 1) ntp server configuration (with ntpd running); 2) simple ntp clock synchronization (with ntpd running); 3) ntp clock synchronization (at boot time or as a cron event) (without ntpd running).
Subsection 3) should explain how to configure ntp.conf (and maybe /etc/rc.local ? I'm still studying on this) just to be able to have this command
ntpd -qg
automatically executed at boot time: maybe appending it to /etc/rc.local (but I'm afraid it's slightly more complicated than that, I'm still studying on it); it could also be reminded that it's possible to run that command at predefined time intervals by creating a cron event.
Is somebody with more knowledge than me interested in helping?
(Excuse my approximate English...)

Ok, I finally managed to find the time to revise the ntp.conf section, this is my first attempt to it:
===/etc/ntp.conf===
The first thing you define in your ntp.conf is the servers your machine will synchronize to.
NTP servers are classified in a hierarchical system with many levels called "strata": the devices which are considered independent time sources are classified as "stratum 0" sources; the servers directly connected to stratum 0 devices are classified as "stratum 1" sources; servers connected to stratum 1 sources are then classified as "stratum 2" sources and so on. It has to be understood that a server's stratum cannot be taken as an indication of its accuracy or reliability.
Tipically, stratum 2 servers are used for general synchronization purposes: if you don't already know the servers you're going to connect to, you should use the pool.ntp.org servers (http://www.pool.ntp.org/ or http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Servers/NTPPoolServers) and choose the server pool that is closest to your location.
The following lines are just an example:
server 0.it.pool.ntp.org iburst
server 1.it.pool.ntp.org iburst
server 2.it.pool.ntp.org iburst
server 3.it.pool.ntp.org iburst
The iburst option is recommended, and sends a burst of packets if it cannot obtain a connection with the first attempt. The "burst" option should never be used without explicit permission and will likely result in blacklisting.
If you're setting up a ntp server, you need to add localhost as a server, so that, in case it loses internet access, it won't stop serving time to the network; add localhost as a "stratum 10" server (using the "fudge" command) so that it will never be used unless internet access is lost:
server 127.127.1.0
fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 10
The next thing you have to do is add the drift file (which keeps track of yours clocks time deviation) and optionally the log file location:
driftfile /var/lib/ntp/ntp.drift
logfile /var/log/ntp.log
Now all that's left to do is define the rules that will allow clients to connect to your service (localhost is considered a client too) using the "restrict" command; you should already have a line like this in your file:
restrict default nomodify nopeer
This restricts everyone from modifying anything and prevents everyone from querying your time server.
You can also add other options:
restrict default kod nomodify notrap nopeer noquery
In the past, "notrust" option was used too, but its function has changed to mean that authentication with a key is required.
Following this line, you need to tell ntpd what to allow through into your server; the following line is enough if you're not configuring a ntp server:
restrict 127.0.0.1
Otherwise you can add more clients like in this example:
restrict 1.2.3.4 nomodify
restrict 192.168.0.0 mask 255.255.255.0 nomodify notrap
This tells ntpd that 1.2.3.4 and all IP addresses from the 192.168.0.0 range will be allowed to synchronize on this server, but they will not be allowed to modify anything. All other IP addresses in the world will still obey the default restrictions (the first line in the ntp.conf).
In the end, the complete file will look like this (almost all original comments have been stripped out for clarity):
# Name of the servers ntpd should sync with (these are for Italy as an example)
server 0.it.pool.ntp.org iburst
server 1.it.pool.ntp.org iburst
server 2.it.pool.ntp.org iburst
server 3.it.pool.ntp.org iburst
driftfile /var/lib/ntp/ntp.drift
logfile /var/log/ntp.log
restrict default nomodify nopeer
restrict 127.0.0.1
For a more in-depth explanation of the file, especially if you want to configure your machine as a ntp server, the Gentoo Wiki has a more detailed description.
Lastly, never forget man pages:
$ man ntp.conf
is likely to answer most of your remaining doubts.

My Old IMac G5 kaput, its ON or seems to be ON but its black screen can't do anything, though all my pictures and files are there. I want my photos and my itunes library Can't seem to get them. ( I have not been able to share them to my phone or lap top anymore ever since my G5 flipped ) I got a Macbook and got it connected to the Time machine. Trying to Migrate them here from my time machine, but I have not been able to so far. Can somebody help..?

Thank you ;- )

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPhone?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
No data will be lost.

Network Time Protocol

Hello,
In the Date and Time settings box there is a checkbox to have your server set it's time automatically and it is by default set to receive its time from time.apple.com.
I read that you need to open port 123 on your firewall to have a client recive updated time from a time server that is off site. Is this true for 10.4 servers? Or did apple set it up so you don't have to mess with your firewall?
Robert

Do you have NTP activated? Does it work? If it doesn't and you have the firewall activated, then open the required port. If it is working then don't worry about it.

Installation of Network Time Protocol Security Fix

Hi....
Per App Store, I installed the fix with no issues clicking "install now." But, Mom's Mac did the automatic install. She saw the message window saying a security update was installed. But, in the Application Store Upgrade section, this security upgrade is not listed. Previous software updates are listed. For "fun of it" I downloaded the pkg with the update and "re-installed" it on my Mac, It installed.
Questions:
1. Did I mess up my Mac by doing the install twice?
2. If not, can I do the same on Mom's Mac to be sure the update is installed?
3. Why wouldn't the automatic install (on Mom's machine) not show up on the list of updates? Is this the usual state for automatic updates?
4. What could I look at to see if the update was installed besides the lupdate list where it doesn't show up.
Thanks!

John, many thanks! Took me a bit to find the install.log, but yes, the entry was there. For my "self install" on the package, log said, "Installed "NTPUpdateYosemite-2"
BTW: I checked the fingerprint of the package I downloaded, and it did not match the fingerprint in this Apple article at How to verify the authenticity of manually downloaded Apple Software Updates - Apple Support But, the fingerprint of the package I downloaded did match the fingerprint of the package for the "Digital Camera RAW Compatibility 6.02" package that came out Dec 15th. So, I think that the package I used was legit. Make sense?
ALSO...I did find this info on Apple website posted today. About OS X NTP Security Update - Apple Support It has terminal command for seeing if your NTP is updated. [Just saw you edited your reply to include this]
And, finally....Thanks so much for helping a relative newbie to software "stuff"

'Clicks and Pops' using Flex Time?

Has anyone experienced this? Whenever I use Flex time on a vocal, I get clicks and pops, at very random places. It happens more when the vocal is powerful, (although not overclipped),
has anyone experienced something similar, and knows of a fix or a solution?
thank you.

Probably the simplest solution to this bug (it appears to not be creating zero crossed edits when creating a fade over flexed audio) is to cut the area to be faded into small region and render (or bounce in place) the small section, then fade it.

Can I use 2 Time Capsules on the same network

Can I use 2 Time Capsules on the same network
Posted: Jul 23, 2009 1:49 PM Reply Email
Here is what I want to do. I currently have a time capsule used for one end of the house. Currently my 2 kids rooms are in an addition that I have run a cable from the time capsule to each of their rooms. If I want to give them wireless for that part of the house could I add another TC, for wireless and they can both backup their macbooks to that time capsule.
So Can I add a 2nd time capsule to extend by "N" network, or should I just go with an AP express or extreme and let them each have their own HD backup for each macbook?
Brett

Have bought many reconditioned (Refurb) product from Apple site and have always been happy with them. To date none have failed me and we have been Apple customers since 2006. With that said when you buy Refurbs make sure you know what model you are getting. The current TCs on the Apple site are last generation. The way to tell is to check the model number against the current one. Easy way to do this is to put both in the shopping cart and compare the model numbers. The Refurb model number is FB277LL/A and the new TC model is MB765LL/A. The first digits identify whether a Refurb or new, the rest should be the same if they are the same model number.
Before you buy, now which model number you want and then check other sites to compare prices. I recently purchased a new TC on Amazon for a better price then the Apple Store Site. For larger Refurb purchases like MBPs, we choose to buy directly from Apple; but for peripherals we often buy from OWC, Amazon, and other sites. Hope this helps.

Using network drive with time machine. IS IT POSSIBLE?

There are lots of discussion on using network drives with time machine. I have not been able to make them work. Could somebody tell me if this is possible

Time Machine does not back up to network drives, except Time Capsules or USB drives connected to an Airport Extreme, or a drive on a Mac running Leopard.
Here's the official word: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1733
You may find some "hacks" that might make it work, in some cases, to a degree. But use them at your own risk.
First, since this is *unsupported by Apple,* there's nowhere to go when there's trouble.
Second, you're risking a future update preventing it from working, and perhaps rendering your backups useless.
If you still think this is a good idea, do yourself a favor before you bet your backups on it: be sure it really works, at least for now:
1. Get a copy of CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper! or the like, and make a full bootable clone of your internal HD, on an external disk. Test it by booting from it. Then reboot from your internal HD.
2. Let TM do it's first, full, initial backup.
3. Attempt a full system restore (like you'll need when, not if, your internal HD fails), via the instructions in item 14 of the of the Frequently Asked Questions post at the top of this forum.
Again, even if it works today, tomorrow is another day . . .

I just purchased a 3tb Time Capsule and having trouble getting my Brother networked laser printer to work.

Hello,
I tried several different routers, but could never get my new Seagate 4tb external hardrive to connect to use with Time Machine. I finally gave up and purchased a new Time Capsule today. It's a work of art, and working well as a router and harddrive. That said, I cannot get my Brother Laser Printer (HL-5370DW) to print.
It's a networked printer and my computer finds it, but it will not print anything.
Does anyone have any ideas what I can do to get it working?

Mavericks often needs new drivers.. did you check the brother website for new drivers for 10.9.
Delete all the previous references to this printer.. and any other printer if they no exist.
Try and load again the new printer according to the Mavericks instructions.. this is actually nothing to do with the TC.. since the printer is network and using wireless or ethernet (not USB!!). Then the TC it is simply another client.

Two Macs using separate Time Capsules on same network - The operation couldn't be completed. (OSStatus error 2.)

Six hours of configuration and I'm out of ideas.
Here's the layout:
Cisco Cable Modem connects to my ISP. It uses DHCP to distribute IP addresses which is necessary as ethernet throughout the house is piggybacked on coax and the ethernet to coax adapter has a mac address and needs to take an IP address (DirectTV - not my idea). Though not my preferred config, this seems solid.
Cable Modem connects via ethernet (though this crazy coax adapter) to Downstairs Time Capsule (call it DTC). DTC is set to create network without using DHCP so that no duplicate IPs are dished out. No problems so far - everything works. DTC has a MacMini hooked up by parallel ethernet and the MacMini is set to back up to the DTC disk, called "Combo Time Machine". Back up is running smoothly, no problems.
On the same network there is another Time Capsule connected, called Upstairs Time Capsule (UTC). UTC is set to create network in bridge mode so as to repeat the network created by the DTC (to increase range). All of this is, network-wise, is working fine:
UTC is connected by parallel ethernet to an iMac which I want to back up to the UTC disk, called "iMac Time Machine". This is where the problem starts. It seems logical that one Mac could backup to one Time Capsule while a different Mac back up to a different Time Capsule, even though everything is on the same network, right?
So here's what I see while using the iMac to try to configure Time Machine upstairs:
Looks good, right?
It's as if the Time Machine software confuses the two Time Capsules - it's asking for the Downstairs Time Capsule disk password, not the Upstairs one as it should be. Still, I try the password and here's what I get:
"The operation couldn't be completed. (OSStatus error 2)" means nothing to me... little help?

I have an idea this is going to take some working out.
What IP is the upstairs TC and what IP is the downstairs one?
Can you ping them both please by name and by IP address?
Can you manually mount the share you will use for time machine in the iMac upstairs..
In finder go, connect to server.
Type in the name AFP://user@TCname
You will then be asked for the password and it should be able to be stored in the keychain. Then select that for TM.. if TM still carries on, reset it and try again. See A4 here.

TS1550 What about when using the "Time Capsule" HD as the external disk, especially when it is connected by ethernet cable? I'm having trouble getting it to work at all. Don't need it to work as anything else, other than a ethernet connected Time Machine

What about when using the "Time Capsule" HD as the external disk, especially when it is connected by ethernet cable? I'm having trouble getting it to work at all. Don't need it to work as anything else, other than a ethernet connected Time Machine backup. Already have a wireless network that works fine so no need to mess with it. We get the internet via cable company and their modem is upstairs and the Time Capsule is downstairs in the basement. The latest error message was about it could not backup as it was already in use (should have written it down before clicking OK and moving on.

See if this helps...
