Re: [foxboro] AW51B time synchronization to Windows box

If you have C programming ability, there is an
IA time change program on the Cassandra site. Program 
"set_mtk" is available for download.  Various of us IA 
grunts have built time sync functions around that.

My own version used a telnet call to get the time from
a windows box, then adjusted the IA clock accordingly.
I havent had to worry about the existance of a historian
anyplace I used it; changing time with a historian
running imposes special considerations.

Also, some versions of FoxView have a problem with time changes
forward.  Mine was set up to only do minor adjustments to the
clock.  Bigger changes requires an operator.  That way we didn't 
run afoul of FoxXiew.

Anyway, it is there, and it works.  Good luck.
