rt8145 set date

[kpapad66]

I have PXI8145RT and Labview 7. After years of use, the system lost its system date. I have replaced the on-board battery (time keeper) but still when the get date/time function is invoked I get the value 1/1/1980. How can this be fixed ? Is there any way to programatically reset the correct date/time

Thanks for the help

Hi kpapad66, 

Have you seen this KnowledgeBase article for correcting the time on an RT controller?

It also looks like you on an RT controller, you can boot into the BIOS to correct the date and time. 

How does Real-Time Hardware Update Its System Clock?

Thanks for the reply. The straightforward way to correct the date\time settings is to do it from the RT palette VIs.
