Appendix B—Software Program Options
In addition to the standard conguration and ow log menus, the MC-III™ interface software includes a
Program Options menu that allows users to customize the way the software functions, handles log data, and
communicates.
To access the Program Options menu, select Options in the menu bar; Program Options is the last entry in the
dropdown list (Figure B.1).

General Options
The General Options screen allows a user to change the threshold setting used to generate a user prompt for
synchronizing the internal clock with the time displayed on the user’s computer.
The MC-III EXP includes a real-time clock for timekeeping and log time stamps, and the internal time and
date is preset at the factory. However, if the factory-set time and date are inaccurate for the user (for example,
if the user is in a different time zone), the program will automatically detect the difference between the
device’s internal time and the date and the time/date displayed on the user’s personal computer and prompt
the user to authorize time and date synchronization.
By default, the MC-III prompts a user to synchronize the clock display if the time difference is 60 seconds or
more. To change the time difference required to generate a “synchronize” prompt, enter a new threshold value
(seconds) in the General Options screen (Figure B.2, page B-2) and click “OK.”
