Real time clock.
Date and time stamping
Purpose
The memory card option also contains a real time clock, with date and time stamping facilities.
The date and time is printed on all screen dump printouts.
Data stored on memory cards also has date and time fields. This information is not visible on the
Service Monitor, but is included so as to be visible when memory card files are viewed on a DOS
style file display.
A clock set locking facility protects the clock setting from unauthorized adjustment.
Access
The real time clock read-out with its setting facility, is on the MEMORY CARD FORMAT screen
and menu. This is accessed by the key sequence, [HELP/SETUP], [Card Setup].
Setting the clock date and time
The soft keys on the left of the screen are all relevant to the real time clock.
A new date or time can only be set if the clock set locking facility shows 'Enabled'. If it shows
'Locked' the clock four figure access code must be entered. See 'Locking and enabling', below.
To set a new time, proceed as follows:-
Press the [Set Time] key once. The 'hours' digits of the digital read-out will be
highlighted.
Press the [
E ] key or the [ F ] key repeatedly, until the correct hours setting is shown.
Press the [Set Time] key again. The 'minutes' digits of the digital read-out will be
highlighted.
Press the [
E ] key or the [ F ] key repeatedly, until the correct minutes setting is shown.
Press the [Set Time] key again. The time display will return to normal and the new time
will be set.
To set a new time, proceed as for time setting except for:-
Press the [Set Date] key once, to highlight the 'day' digits.
After setting the 'days', 'month' and 'year', press the [Set Date] key again to set the new
date.
Locking and enabling clock setting
When shipped, the clock set locking code is '0' (single zero). This code ensures that the clock set
locking is 'Enabled'. Any other code will re-lock the clock setting whenever the Service Monitor
is powered up.
To lock the real time clock proceed as follows:-
Press the [Clock Setting] key. The inverse video legend 'New Clock Code' will replace
the 'Enabled' legend, with the current code shown beneath it.
If the code shown is '0', key in a four figure code and press the [ENTER] key. The new
code will be shown.
The clock setting will remain enabled until the Service Monitor is switched off. The code
will be required to enable the clock setting function after the next power up.
If the code shown beneath the 'New Clock Code' legend is not '0', the clock setting will lock when
the Service Monitor is next switched off. The code will be required to enable the clock setting
function after the next power up.
