Set Time - DAVIS WeatherLink Software User's Manual

Set Time

You may set the time and date on your station console and your computer from
the software. It is important to make sure that both the station and computer dis-
play the same time and date. Because changing time and date on the station can
affect data in the WeatherLink's archive memory, we recommend that you down-
load data before setting the time and date and then clear your archive memory
when finished.
Note: See "Leap Year Correction" on page 101 before changing time and/or date during a leap year.
1. Choose Set Time from the Setup menu.
The Set Time & Date dialog box appears. The time and date currently dis-
played by the station console appear at the top of the dialog box. The software
automatically enters the time and date displayed by the computer into the text
boxes at the bottom of the dialog box.
2. Enter the following information:
Time/Date
Enter the current time and/or date.
Set the PC time also
If you want the software to set the time and date on both the station con-
sole and the computer, select this check box.
3. After entering time and date, choose OK.
The software sets the time and date on the station console (and the PC) and
then prompts you to indicate whether you want to clear your archive memory
as well.
4. To indicate whether you want to clear your archive memory, choose Yes or No.
If you choose Yes, the software clears your archive memory.
