ClockAdjust effect on timer  
Hi there,

sorry if I crosspost this problem. But perhaps someone in the community forum can help me.

I'm trying to compensate the clockdrift between two PCs (VxWorks and QNX) with ClockAdjust. On the QNX site I use a 
timer to let the system do something every 4 ms. Those 4 ms have to be exactly the 4 ms I measure on VxWorks site. So in

 my system I adjust the clock under QNX with ClockAdjust().

What I experienced is that ClockAdjust seem to have no effect an the time. I wrote a small test program (without the 
VxWorks site) that gets a time-event every 0.5 s. And after the timer-event I adjust the clock in 2000 ticks by 12500 
nsec every tick (CLOCK_RESOLUTION = 125000 nsecs). So in the the end on the console I get the expected 525000000 nsecs 
as the interval. But when I measure the real time by signaling the parallel port and using an oscilloscope I only get 
the exact 500 ms between timer events.

What exactly happens when I create a timer and when does it run out? By what I am experiencing I guess, on creation the 

number of ticks until end of time is calulated and then a counter is increased every tick until number of ticks. If this

 is so... How can I adjust the time and also affect the timer. So what I want is 475 ms in real time every timer-event.

cheers,
  Alex

Alexander,

I'm having the same problem adjusting when timers fire by using ClockAdjust.  Did you ever find a solution?

Many thanks!
