Setting the IOLAN's Date and Time
When you set the IOLAN's time, the connection method and time zone settings can affect the actual
internal clock time that is being set. For example, if you are connecting to the IOLAN through the
DeviceManager and your PC's time zone is set to Pacific Standard Time (GMT -8:00) and the
IOLAN's time zone is set to Eastern Standard Time (GMT -5:00), the IOLAN's time is actually three
hours ahead of your PC's time. Therefore, if you set the IOLAN's time to 2:30 pm in the
DeviceManager, the IOLAN's actual internal clock time is 5:30 pm. This is the only configuration
method that interprets the time and converts it between time zones, as necessary.
All other configuration methods set the IOLAN's internal clock time to the time specified, with no
interpretation.
To set the IOLAN's system clock in DeviceManager, select
