3.2.4 Displaying and Setting the System Time
Time is tracked in GMT in the PAC. The PAC can display or set time in the local time, if an
offset from GMT is defined. Define the time zone offset before setting the time.
Time values are set as follows:
TIme or DAte – Display the current local time or date.
PAC TIMEZone <+/- minutes> – The TIMEZONE setting is in the PAC submenu so PAC
must be entered before TIMEZone. Enter the time zone offset in minutes. For example, the
time in Alberta is GMT minus seven hours so enter –420. Disregard daylight savings time
when the time zone is offset is entered. For example, in Alberta the time zone offset is
always entered as –7 hours even though the local time is only –6 hours during daylight
savings time.
TIme <HH:MM:SS> – The command and format to set the time. The PAC time is set to
local time if a time zone offset is defined. Setting the correct time is important for scheduled
reports.
DAte <MM:DD:YY> – The command and format to set the date in the PAC. Note the
order.
