dickep 0 Posted March 30, 2008 I am sure this has been asked before but I cannot find it how can I seta real time clock alarm? I am assuming my system will support it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Swift 0 Posted March 30, 2008 @Hour @Min @Sec If @Hour = "6" And @Min = "30" Then _Alarm();This alarm will go off @ 6:30 AM. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dickep 0 Posted March 31, 2008 thanks for these but they are for general ALARM not RTC. The Real Time Clock alarm sets in the BIOS to wake the computer I need to know if this is possible for some test apps I need to write Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AdmiralAlkex 120 Posted March 31, 2008 To my knowledge there isn't any UDF for doing this kind of stuff, you should think about writing the functions you want yourself. Good luck!!

zackrspv 5 Posted March 31, 2008 thanks for these but they are for general ALARM not RTC. The Real Time Clock alarm sets in the BIOS to wake the computer I need to know if this is possible for some test apps I need to write To be honest, I'd like to know more about what you want to create; Windows, in general, doesn't run the CMOS/BIOS clock in UTC, instead it runs it in local time; meaning that when you update time in Windows 2000+ machines, it will adjust the data from CMOS accordingly. If you want to write alarms based off of that information, then simply using the _NOWTIME or @HOUR, @MIN, @SEC should be sufficient for you. However if you are running time critical devices, such as hardware alarms, etc, and you want to use the TICK information, consider using _TIMETOTICKS function instead, which will convert the time into something like this: TIME -- TICK ============== 20:29:17 -- 73757000 20:29:18 -- 73758000 20:29:19 -- 73759000 20:29:20 -- 73760000 20:29:21 -- 73761000 20:29:22 -- 73762000 20:29:23 -- 73763000 Note, you can base your alarms off the tick just fine, if that's what your asking. Otherwise, if there was a way to query INT70, you may be able to directly get the RTC from CMOS, but again, if your on windows, i just don't think that's necessary. Course, I may be way off on what you want haha.
