; Specify the NTP server domain.
; Information is passed in a JSON object to allow for any unanticipated future optional information that might need to be provided.
$oJson = ObjCreate("Chilkat.JsonObject")
$oJson.UpdateString("ntp_server","pool.ntp.org")

; Query the NTP server for the current date/time.
$oDt = ObjCreate("Chilkat.CkDateTime")
; Note: The SetFromNtpServer method is available starting in v9.5.0.96 for most Chilkat builds, but not all.
; If the SetFromNtpServer method is not present, contact support@chilkatsoft.com for a hotfix build.
; It should be available in all programming languages/platforms starting in v9.5.0.97
Local $bSuccess = $oDt.SetFromNtpServer($oJson.Emit())
If ($bSuccess = False) Then
    ConsoleWrite($oDt.LastErrorText & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndIf

; Show the date/time in various formats..
Local $bLocalTime = True
ConsoleWrite($oDt.GetAsTimestamp($bLocalTime) & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite($oDt.GetAsRfc822($bLocalTime) & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite($oDt.GetAsUnixTime($bLocalTime) & @CRLF)
