Setting the computer time from a script

[Jean-Francois]

Hello Robin,

With the QHY-174GPS, it is possible to set the time of the computer with the time coming from the camera GPS.

Is it possible to do the same from a script ?
My idea is to have the time set at the beginning of my script.

Regards,
Jean-Francois

Hi,

it's non-trivial to try to set the system time from within SharpCap IronPython - you have to declare a class with special attributes to allow calling SetSystemTime from kernel32.dll - it's probably easier to launch a power shell script to do the same using Set-Date which is built into PowerShell.

Hello Robin,

OK, not so easy. I will first do it manually.
