As you can see in case BLE_CTS_C_EVT_CURRENT_TIME (main.c line:303). We only print the current time once received. In your case you have to store this value. I would suggest using current_time_char_t. Then you use the rtc timer to update this value.

I have looked at that and understand how the RTC module is working. However, and forgive me if I am being rather ignorant here, I cannot see how you set say RTC2 to know the current time.

My application basically needs to store the current time & date when an event has finished. The soft device uses RTC0, my application timers use RTC1 so I would like RTC2 to keep track of the time and then store it (using pstorage) when requested. Apologies again if I am missing some blindingly obvious point.

The current time is read using ble_cts_c_current_time_read(). this function is called from the bsp_event_handler.
Use the current time to sync your local time. This means that you should also have a local time that you update based on the RTC. To see how to use the RTC you can look at nRF51_SDK_10.0.0_dc26b5e\examples\peripheral\rtc\

Thanks for this, I am looking through the example now. Two things I cannot work out:

What function do I call to get the time
How do I append this to the RTC?

Thanks,

Did you look at the current time service in our sdk: nRF51_SDK_9.0.0_2e23562\examples\ble_peripheral\ble_app_cts_c
