Atomic Clock Sync
-
Version
2.6
This freeware Atomic Clock Sync utility can help you
keep your local computer up-to-date with the exact
current time. This program will reference an atomic
clock server to get the current time with the
greatest accuracy available and update 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.
Atomic Clock Sync will connect to one of the time
servers operated by the National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST) in the United States,
and will compare the time of your computer with the
time on the servers operated by the NIST. This
program will then display the difference between your
system and the servers and if greater than 15
seconds, it will offer you the option of adjusting
your PC by the displayed amount.
The overall uncertainty in this comparison should be
no worse than +/- 5 seconds under all circumstances
and will be substantially less than this value in
most cases.
Version 2.2 added the ability to have Atomic Clock
Sync start automatically when Windows boots up and to
have it start minimized to the system tray. Version
2.5 offers improved Internet connection options,
including direct connect, IE settings, or proxy
server. Some users of previous versions were having
trouble connecting to a functioning time server and
were getting an error regarding "not an integer"
which has been corrected in the current version.
