ClockWatch queries a timeserver which returns the exact standard time. Settings can be made on demand, on a regularly scheduled basis or automatically based on the specific experience of the local system. You set the level of accuracy desired and ClockWatch checks the time when appropriate. Results from clock settings are graphically displayed in windows and charts showing the overall accuracy of your computer. Results of clock settings can also be logged to a file allowing you to save all activity in a text file on your computer for later review or archival. Complete on-line documentation including Help, User Guide, FAQ and Troubleshooting.
