Multipoint Videographic Recorder
IM/SM3000–EN Rev. L
Set the current date and time.
Note. If daylight saving is required, enter the settings (see next
page) before setting the time and date as the operation of the
internal clock is affected by the daylight saving settings.
Note.

The date and time cannot be adjusted if recording is
enabled during configuration, i.e the 'Disable recording in
configuration' check box is not ticked on entry to the
Configuration level – see Fig. 6.1, page 52.

Changes to the date and time are effective immediately
upon selecting 'OK' in the dialog box above. Selecting
'Cancel' upon exiting Configuration Mode (see Fig. 6.7,
page 60) does not reset the clock to its previous setting.
Select 'Cancel' in the dialog box above to exit date and
time setup without saving changes.

Setting an earlier date or time results in the loss of all data
currently in the internal buffer memory past that date. Data
archived to external media is unaffected. If an earlier time
must be set, change the Instrument Tag (see page 62).
This causes new archive files to be created and the
duplicated hour of data is then saved to the new files.

Time changes due to automatic daylight saving do not
affect the recorded data.

Archive files created during the daylight saving period (see
Section 6.5.6, page 85) are compatible with the database
feature of Version 5.8 (or later) only of the Company's
DataManager data analysis software package.
