Advanced Time Synchronizer

Although the time displayed inside the operating system is handled by your hardware, thanks to the clock integrated into the motherboard, it does not necessarily mean that it is always showing the correct value, due to various glitches and errors. Hence, it can be helpful to synchronize it with an Internet-based time server on a regular basis, to make sure you are up to date.

Advanced Time Synchronizer is a software utility that provides you with the ability to connect to a variety of time servers around the world via the Internet, as well as schedule periodical synchronizations and calculate the average clock drift statistics. You can also add new time servers to the list, by entering their respective addresses and setting up their protocol configuration.

The scheduling capabilities of the application come into play when you require periodic synchronizations with the selected servers and you want to automate the process. Moreover, if the computer happens to be disconnected from the Internet at the time of the synchronization, you can choose to wait for a connection, or to automatically establish a dial-up connection.

In order to attract your attention, each time the utility manages to receive data from one of the available time servers, it plays a custom sound, which can be manually selected from your computer. A different sound can be played whenever the time is adjusted according to the new data gathered from the Internet.

The average clock drift statistics, as the name implies, can be used to calculate by how much does your system clock deviate over a certain period, in order to assess its precision. You do, however, need to allow the application to gather information for a while before you are able to perform the calculation and obtain the results.

In the end, Advanced Time Synchronizer manages to provide you with a hefty number of features and options when it comes to time management. It is delivered with a wide variety of time servers from the get-go, as well as the ability to work with local servers and various protocols.
