Set Time (VI)

Session in specifies the system receiving changes.

Time specifies the current time for a remote system or network device. Use the default timestamp to leave the current time unchanged. LabVIEW calculates this timestamp using the number of seconds elapsed since 12:00 a.m., Friday, January 1, 1904, Universal Time.

Time Zone specifies the time zone for a remote system or network device. Use an empty string to leave the current time zone unchanged.

For a complete list of supported time zone strings by city, refer to the Date and Time Gateway by visiting ni.com/info and entering the Info Code exiyy5 .

The following table includes example cities and their corresponding time zone string:

Note  If your target does not support automatic daylight saving time adjustment, specify the GMT time equivalent for your location instead of the actual time zone. Otherwise, data timestamps may be inaccurate.

error in (no error) describes error conditions that occur before this node runs. This input provides standard error in functionality.

Remote Timeout specifies the time in milliseconds that this VI waits before it times out. The default amount of time that the VI waits for a response on the network before timing out is 5 minutes. In some cases, the operation may take longer to complete. This timeout is for remote systems only.

Session out returns the refnum for the system.

Detailed Result returns a string containing results of any errors that may have occurred during the VI execution. This parameter also may return additional information about the results of the VI execution.

Changes Require Restart returns whether the changes require a reboot to take effect. If TRUE, run the Restart VI.

error out returns error information. This output provides standard error out functionality.
