Absolute Time Corrector 7.2

Absolute Time Corrector 7.2 is a mighty admirable tool which queries NIST timeservers using the Internet and then compares NIST time to the time setting of the host computer. If there is a disparity, ATC automatically adjusts the computer's time to reflect NIST time. Once set up the host computer can serve as a timeserver to any size network.

Absolute Time Corrector (ATC) is an award-winning program, which allows you to synchronize your local PC time using NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) Internet Time Service or LAN time servers.

NO SPYWARE, NO ADWARE, NO VIRUSESNIST Internet Time Service allows users to synchronize computer clock via Internet. Time information provided by the service is directly traceable to UTC(NIST). The service responds to time requests from any Internet client in several formats including the DAYTIME, TIME, and NTP protocols.

ATC uses RFC-868 and RFC-2030 protocols:

• RFC-868 (TIME) protocol returns a 32-bit unformatted binary number that represents the time in UTC seconds since January 1, 1900. The server receives Time Protocol requests on port 37, and responds in either tcp/ip or udp/ip formats.
• RFC-2030 (SNTP) is an extremely reliable protocol for time-synchronization on the Internet with accuracy from 1 to 50 milliseconds, even over great distances. The server receives SNTP protocol requests on port 123, and responds in udp/ip format.
  

Absolute Time Corrector queries NIST timeservers using Internet and then compares NIST time to the time set on host computer. If there is a disparity, ATC automatically adjusts the computer's time to reflect NIST time.

Once set up, the host computer can serve as a timeserver for network of any size. The host can be set to check NIST time as often or seldom as desired, and each computer in the network can likewise be set to check time on the host computer as often as deemed necessary by the network administrator.
