Display Control
The lower half of the window configures the time/date displayed on the clock. The brightness
control is a sliding bar to vary the brightness of the clock. This feature is useful to accommodate
lighting conditions and viewer needs.
The ND clocks can be configured to display time in 12 or 24-hour format, or date in MM:DD:YY,
indicated as US, or DD:MM:YY, indicated as European format.
The network clock will flash its colons at a rate of 1 Hz (once per second) when it is not
synchronized to an NTP server. This is the default configuration for the display if it is not
synchronized to an NTP time server. It will continue to display time using its internal battery
backed RTC (real time clock) while flashing its colons.
The network clock may be configured to display dashes to indicate that the unit is not synchronized
to an NTP time server. To enable this feature, select the "Enable displaying dashes" checkbox of
the Display dashes when not synced w/NTP server" category. The time delay for displaying dashes
can also be adjusted (in hour increments).
Time Zone Settings
The Time Zone button included in the right half of the window, gives the clock complete flexibility
to display any time zone. First select the time zone, by clicking the Time Zone button. This opens
a new window that gives you a list of time zones, including descriptions to help with the selection.
Select the Time Zone and click OK to close the window. Changes are not applied until you click
OK or the Apply button on the main Configuration window.
