Advanced Features in ClockCard
Clock Offset (PCI Version)
This option let you set your PC
clock ahead or backwards. After the software has
the date and time and corrected for the time zones and daylight savings, it adjusts the final
time with the
"time offset" value before setting the system clock. Offset values can
be set from -2,000,000,000 to +2,000,000,000 milliseconds. Offset time is
often used when the
computer is operating in a precise but non-standard time environments such as
radio and TV broadcast as well in satellite communication links.
Tech Note: We define a clock's "offset" at a
particular moment as the difference between the time reported by the clock and
the "true" local time as defined by UTC. If the clock reports a time Tc
and the true local time is Tt, then the clock's offset is Tc - Tt.

Application Programming Interface (API)

for full control of clock setting and reading.
