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 be inaccurate. |
Use the Time Synchronization section to enable a time synchronization source for your device, if your device or system supports this feature. Refer to your system's documentation for more information.

Note You can reorder the sources using the arrow buttons on each time sync source. However, reordering the sources changes their priority. If you set up sources in the following order–Software 1588, SNTP, RTC–the controller tries to synchronize the clock using Software 1588 first. If Software 1588 fails, the controller moves to SNTP and finally to RTC. |
Time synchronization sources supported by NI products include the following:
