Regardless of platform OS type (Windows, QNX, Linux), the default view for any NtpPlatformService is an Ntp PlatformService Editor OS view, your typical interface. Double-click any NtpPlatformService to see this editor.

Although a few differences exist between the different NTP platform service editors in property names, all three types use a similar division of “key properties” at top, and “specified time server(s)” at the bottom of the dialog. Specific details on each NTP platform service editor are in the following sections:

All NtpPlatformServices have a right-click action “Poll”. This action refreshes the values shown in the Ntp Platform Service Editor (received from the NTP daemon), but does not affect messaging between the host and an NTP server. However, starting in AX-3.6, the NtpPlatformServiceQnx (for a JACE) does have an additional “Sync Now” action, which does attempt an immediate sync. See Sync Now action for more details.
