Microsoft.SPOT.Time

Settings that control Time Service.

Primary SNTP Server IP address.

Alternate server is used if communication with primary server failed.

Specifies the period, in seconds, between synchronizations with the SNTP server.

Specifies the interval, in milliseconds, between the time on the SNTP server and the current time. If the difference between the SNTP server time and the local system time is larger, the update is ignored unless the system clock is presumed incorrect.

Syncs with SNTP server, after wakeup or cold boot.

System automatically updates for daylight savings.

IP (in x.x.x.x form) of primary SNTP server.

IP (in x.x.x.x form) of alternate SNTP server.

Status representing a Time service method call.

Flags value will be a combination of TimeServiceStatusFlags.

The server IP that was used for sync.

Offset in milliseconds last time when successful sync happened. 0xFFFFFFFF if sync time unknown.

Current time.

UTC time when this method was called. This is just a handy way to get updated UTC time, after SNTP sync. Saving additional method call.

Sync status.

Static class that controls TimeService.

Starts scheduled time synchronization service. For periodic refresh it uses previously set refreshtime. Refresh time is updateable dynamically, and effective immediately.

Stops periodic time synchronization service. Timeservice APIs are still available, may return stale data unless manual sync is performed.

Manual update of system time value from a given server. This can be called orthogonally along with scheduled time service.

Immediately syncs with time servers using Primary and Alternate server IP that has already been set via settings.

Set UTC time of the system. Change is reflected right away.

Sets time zone of the system. Effective immediately.

Get or set TimeServiceSettings.

Returns latest sync status, it may be scheduled or forced sync, whichever occured last. This can be verified from the TimeService_Status.Flags field. Optionally this will also return the latest UTC time.

Returns machines tick count since last reboot in milliseconds.
