Re: Setting an IOC clock from the vxWorks shell

[Ralph Lange <Ralph.Lange@bessy.de>]

Just for completeness:

It is intended to include timestamp synchronisation into the next 
release of EPICS base - things were just coming into place too late for 
3.14.9.

It will most probably be based on generalTime and the work done at the 
SLS (Timo et al.). Integration and tests are still to be done.

Cheers,
Ralph
