## Public Member Functions
void | getZoneInfos (out vector< ZoneInfo > zoneInfos, in boolean useOlson)
| List all supported time zones.
boolean | checkNtpServer (in string ntpServer)
| Check if a specified NTP server is usable.
vector< string > | getActiveNtpServers ()
| Get active NTP servers.
void | getCfg (out Cfg cfg)
| Retrieve the device date and time configuration.

## Detailed Description

Date and time configuration methods.

Example to set timezone (id-based approach):

zoneinfos = getZoneInfos(False)
cfg = getCfg()
cfg.zoneCfg.id = ... # choose zone id from returned zoneinfos
status = setCfg(cfg)
if status != 0: ... # error handling

## Member Enumeration Documentation

## ◆ Protocol

enum datetime::DateTime::Protocol

Time synchronization protocol.

Enumerator
STATIC | Device time is configured locally.
NTP | Device time is synchronized via NTP.

Definition at line 67 of file DateTime.idl.

## Member Function Documentation

## ◆ checkNtpServer()

boolean datetime::DateTime::checkNtpServer | ( | in string | ntpServer | ) |

Check if a specified NTP server is usable.

Parameters

  ntpServer | NTP server to be checked

Returns
  `true` if the NTP server is usable

## ◆ getActiveNtpServers()

vector< string > datetime::DateTime::getActiveNtpServers | ( |  | ) |

Get active NTP servers.

Returns
  List of currently active NTP servers (IP addresses and/or hostnames)

## ◆ getCfg()

void datetime::DateTime::getCfg | ( | out Cfg | cfg | ) |

Retrieve the device date and time configuration.

Parameters

  cfg | Result: Current date and time configration

## ◆ getTime()

void datetime::DateTime::getTime | ( | in boolean | useOlson,
|  | out ZoneInfo | zone,
|  | out boolean | dstEnabled,
|  | out int | utcOffset,
|  | out time | currentTime )

Retrieve the current device date and time.

Parameters

  useOlson | Use Olson timezone name (see also ZoneCfg)
  zone | Result: Active time zone
  dstEnabled | if false, the time zone daylight saving time flag is not used
  utcOffset | Result: Offset (in minutes) between local time and UTC
  currentTime | Result: Device date and time (UNIX timestamp, UTC)

## ◆ getZoneInfos()

void datetime::DateTime::getZoneInfos | ( | out vector< ZoneInfo > | zoneInfos,
|  | in boolean | useOlson )

List all supported time zones.

Parameters

  zoneInfos | Result: List of time zones
  useOlson | Use Olson timezone names (see also ZoneCfg)

## ◆ setCfg()

int datetime::DateTime::setCfg | ( | in Cfg | cfg | ) |

Set the device date and time configuration.

Depending on the value of the protocol field either deviceTime or ntpCfg will be used from the cfg parameter.

Specific example to set timezone.

Parameters

  cfg | New date and time configuration.

Returns
  0 if OK
  1 if the configuration is invalid
