Function Reference


_Date_Time_SetSystemTimeAdjustment

Enables or disables periodic time adjustments to the system's time of day clock

#include <Date.au3>
_Date_Time_SetSystemTimeAdjustment ( $iAdjustment, $bDisabled )

Parameters

$iAdjustment The number of 100 nanosecond units added to the time of day clock at each clock interrupt if periodic time adjustment is enabled.
$bDisabled A value of True specifies that periodic time adjustment is to be disabled. The system is free to adjust time of day using its own internal mechanisms. The system's internal adjustment mechanisms may cause the time-of-day clock to jump noticeably when adjustments are made. A value of False specifies that periodic time adjustment is to be enabled, and will be used to adjust the time of day clock. The system will not interfere with the time adjustment scheme, and will not attempt to synchronize time of day on its own.
The system will add the value of $iAdjustment to the time of day at each clock interrupt.

Return Value

Success: True
Failure: False
