Clock
The PTC-960X has a built-in clock that keeps
track of the date (month, day, year, and day of
the week) and the time (hours, minutes, seconds,
and tenths of seconds). The clock operates con-
tinuously. How the clock is used depends on your
application program. For example, the PTC-
960X can use the clock to show the date and
time on its display or to direct a printer to place
a time stamp on a report.
Communication
The PTC-960X is capable of communicating with
a host computer through an optional communica-
tion cradle or by being connected directly via a
cable. See the manual or instructions provided
by your organization for the proper communica-
tion procedure for your application.
Display contrast
You may be able to adjust the PTC's display con-
trast, depending on the display installed on your
PTC and the operating system your PTC uses.
If your PTC's operating system is MS-DOS, you
can increase or decrease the contrast in steps by
first pressing the FUNC key and then pressing
the BKSP (backspace) key.
If your PTC's operating system is TCAL, con-
trast adjustment may or may not be available to
you, depending on your organization's application
program. See the instructions provided by your
organization for the correct procedure.
