Another TIME Issue

TurnipTruck

Using my first NI-3101 SIG. I haven't had the following problem with other masters.

Now that it is daylight savings time, rebooting the master sets the clock back to standard time even though it's now DST. I have DST rules active and I am checking the default -a time server hourly. If I set the master's clock manually, it seems to maintain the correct time thereafter.

Why wouldn't the master apply DST rules at startup?

Any way to verify that I am actually reaching the selected time server?

Thanks.

In your Master's log you should see an entry such as

NI Log wrote:

20 03-17-2010 WED 07:22:32 Unknown ClockMgr: Setting system time to - WED MAR 17 07:22:33 2010

each time "something" happens. Exactly what defines that "something" is a detail I don't know.

Where is that log on the newer, Duet style masters?

Browse to your Master's IP address.

From the top right "Device" drop down select 00000 - NI Master

Select Log under the Manage Devices tab.
