Time Synchronization

TClock can automatically adjust your computer's time and date by talking to an NTP Server on the Internet using SNTP Protocol.

Server

Specify the NTP Server. There are publicly available NTP Servers out there, like clock.nc.fukuoka-u.ac.jp.

Network Time Distribution Service(University of Fukuoka)

Adjust Now

If you click this button, TClock adjusts the time right away.

Adjust Regularly

Specify how frequently you want to adjust the time.

Once A Day

Adjusts the time as the day turns.

Interval

Adjusts the time in every specified minutes.

While Dial-Upping Only

Adjusts only while the dial-up connection is active. Uncheck this if you have a permanent Internet connection.

Timeout

Specify the timeout amount. When TClock tries to connect the server and the server doesn't respond in this amount of time, the adjustment will not be made.

Save Log

The communication from/to the NTP server will be recorded in the text file named SNTP.txt in the same folder where TClock.exe resides.

Sound

Specify the sound file that TClock opens when the adjustment is successfully done.

Activity Logging

In this textbox, TClock shows all the activity since started.

Examples)
03/13 22:07:39 failed to get IP address
->Failed to obtain the IP address of the server. Most likely you are not on the Internet or the name of the server is wrong(mis-spelled).
03/14 03:00:34 synchronized +00:01.751 (0332)
->Succeeded. 1.751 second adjusted. It took 0.332 seconds.
03/14 04:04:40 timeout (3040)
->Timed out.

Note

You may not be able to use this functionality when you are accessing the Internet from the Firewall-protected network. Sorry, there's no workaround.

Thanks

The portion of this program that communicates with an NTP Server is derived from the source code made public by Tomoaki Nakashima on his web site. I would like to thank Mr. Nakashima.
