AV Clock Slow-Down Help
3 messages in this thread
Hey Folks,
We are now using our Amigavision Pro kiosk program to run a video on the
hour and the half hour. Unfortunately there is a slow down in the
computer systems clocks that cause the time to lose about 3 to 5 minutes
every 30 minutes. Are there any calls in AV that will cause this to
happen? It occurs on 2 different manufacturer's clock boards.

John,
I'm no expert in your field and don't really know what hardware you're
running with, but the after the Amiga powers on and loads the clock from
what ever source, it continues the clock on a software basis, it can get
out of synch (I believe). Maybe if you reloaded the clock from the
hardware, using a 'SETCLOCK LOAD' every now and then you could keep the
the soft clock more in synch with your hardware clock and the 'real
time'(?).

Robb,
I tried your suggestion. After a period of about a day, reading prefs
showed the clock was about 20 minutes slow. Issuing a SETCLOCK LOAD set
the clock back on track. I was under the impression that the PREFS time
showed what the hardware clock was reading. You were right! Thanks.
