UltraSpec Analyzer Utility Functions

To change the month, press any key on the keypad to step through the

months. Use the keypad to enter the correct values for the remaining items.

Enter the current date, time, and GMT offset for your time zone. There are

25 GMT World Time Zones from -12 through +12 (i.e. the GMT Offset for

the Eastern Standard Time Zone would be -5). Toggle Daylight Savings

Time (D.S.T.) on or off depending on whether Daylight Savings Time is in

effect or not. Press the Enter key to accept the values as displayed and

return to the System Setup menu.

Note

If the analyzer displays the “Warning - Check GMT & DST

Setting” screen, it will continue to do so with power-up and

reset until you have entered, made the necessary changes, and

accepted the date and time. In the UltraSpec 8000 analyzer,

you will be required to set the date and time every time you

reload the base ﬁrmware. In the UltraSpec 8117 analyzer, the

date and time with GMT offset and D.S.T. are automatically

saved in non-volatile memory when the date and time are

accepted; therefore, you will not be required to set the date and

time when the base ﬁrmware is reloaded.
