Atomic Clock Sync description

  

 

Atomic Clock Sync - Find the exact time! keep your local computer up-to-date with the exact current time

Atomic Clock Sync references an atomic clock server in order to get the current time with the greatest accuracy available updating your PC`s information..

It can even be set to automatically check the time once a day to keep your PC`s time accurate forever. Best of all, you can download and use this utility at no cost to you!

It is simply our free gift, no questions asked, just to encourage you to return to World Time Server whenever you need current times elsewhere around the world!

This program connects to one of the time servers operated by the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), and will set the time of the clock in your computer with the atomic time-scale operated by NIST.

This program has an option to run in AUTOMATIC MODE. When this option is selected, it will connect to the atomic clock 1 time per day and will not try to attempt another 24 hours.

If your system is not currently connected to the Internet, it will attempt to make a connection at regular intervals until a successful result is achieved, at which time it will not make any further attempts until the next day.

The overall certainty in the time comparison should be +/- 1 to 2 seconds.

For users behind firewalls, you may find it useful to know that Port 13 is used to connect to the NIST Atomic Clock servers. If this port is blocked, it may prevent Atomic Clock Sync from receiving time information.

Requirements:

· Internet connection
