Lxi Synchronization - VTI Instruments Metek EX1202 User Manual

Using the Manual Time Setting
If a PTP master or an SNTP server is not available, time can be configured manually by the user
by selecting Manual in the Time Source drop menu. Note, manually set time sources are not very
accurate and that this configuration should only be used if timestamp accuracy is not vital to a
measurement.
To use a manually set time source:
1) Select Manual from the Time Source field. The page will change so that it can be
configured.
2) Select the Set Time checkbox.
3) Enter the required data into the Date and Time fields that appear. Note that the Time field
should be entered using the 24-hour format.
4) Click the Submit button to begin using the manual time source.
