# SET\_NTP\_URL

#### ID: 18

#### Payload Definition

The Omniscan 3D can obtain UTC time from an NTP server. This packet allows you to set the NTP server URL. Provide either a hostname (for example, `time.google.com`) or an IP address (for example, `192.168.2.101`) as a string. If the server is on the internet, make sure the Omniscan 3D network configuration allows outbound internet access (DHCP is usually the simplest option).
