Martin,

Yes, you are correct about the two obsolete protocols that it uses.  It does 
work great, though.

Stan,
Re: suing an old (obsolete) protocol.

Would this by any chance be the 'TCP' and 'UDP' variations of 'daytime' 
and 'time' or something difrferent?

For years we used NTP to synchronize all of our control systems to our 
master controls system GPS clocks. Unfortunately the Windows version of IA 
does not allow this.

As I understand it, your 2 options are:

1) Buy the GPS card Foxboro sells, and use it
*0 Foxboro Montreal sells a package that will synchronize to an external 
time source suing an old (obsolete) protocol.

We have chosen option 2, as it lets us use the GPS clocks we use for all 
the other control systems in the mills.

Seems a real shame that Foxboro will not allow us to use NTP, which we do 
with other vendors Windows based systems.
