User Manual, Revision F
Automatic time synchronization
This method is preferable since IMx-T will continuously synchronize the time
with the computer that has @ptitude Observer Monitor or Analyst IMx Service
running.
In order to synchronize time IMx-T uses NTP protocol which resides in
Windows as a built-in function for NTP time synchronization.
In order to activate time synchronization, follow the steps below.
Note that these steps are needed only on the computer where the @ptitude
Observer Monitor or Analyst IMx Service is running.
1. Open Port 123 in the Firewall. This is done a bit differently depending on
your operating system and eventually external firewall.
2. Go to Services and check that "Windows Time" service start-up method is
set to "Automatic" and is started.
3. Double click on the file called "EnableTimeSync.reg" in the Observer DVD
or Analyst DVD. This will enter information in the registry to enable the
time synchronization service on the computer.
4. Stop and start "Windows Time" service to make this change take effect.
5. IMx-T will synchronize the time continuously every 1 000 seconds.
Note: The IMx-T will synchronize its time directly after a restart or power
up.
Manual set time
Use "Set time" function in SKF @ptitude Observer or Analyst application.
In @ptitude Observer, the function is found at a tab menu called "On-line", then
"MasCon/IMx units" interface.
In @ptitude Analyst, the function is found at Transfer / Online / Status.
