As a general rule, you’ll want
to maximize your system’s scan speed by making the Terminator Channel
Number as low as possible.

In this section, you’ll learn to apply the
TIME (TME)
and
DATE (DTE)
com-
mands.
a.
Make sure the EEPROM Write Protect function is enabled.
b.
Set your system’s internal clock-time by entering from the keyboard a
command of
TME = t [CR]
where “t” is a number of up to 6 digits expressing the current time in
hours, minutes, and seconds. For example, if it were now exactly 3:07
p.m., you would enter for “t” the number 150700 (for hour “15,” minute
“07,” and second “00”).

c.
To verify this setting, ask for the current system time by commanding
TME [CR]
d.
Now set your system’s internal date by commanding
DTE = d [CR]
where “d” is a number of up to 6 digits expressing the current date in
month, day, and year. For example, if today were June 9, 2001, you would
enter for “d” the number 60901 (for month “06,” day “09,” and year “01”).

ALIBRATION
The purpose of this section is to lead you step-by-step through a typical Sys-
tem 10 “real-channel” calibration. As explained in Section 1.G.2 of the System
10 Guidebook, a number of different calibration methods are available. The
method chosen for a given analog input channel will depend on the type of
source transducer, the characteristics of the transducer/cable/conditioner
combination, the extent of your knowledge of these characteristics, and the
possibility and/or convenience of producing actual or simulated transducer
inputs of known value.

command has been used to specify a low scan limit other than
Channel No. 1 and/or a high scan limit other than Channel No. t

(see Section 1.F.1 of the
System 10 Guidebook). Note too that for an A-sized mainframe, you cannot set a Termina-
tor Channel higher than “160,” which is the maximum number of channels the system can
handle. The special TIME and DATE channels (Nos. 998 and 999) are always scanned.

Though not entered in the
TME
command, separating colons will be shown in every dis-
play of TIME (see Fig. 5.1).

Though not entered in the
DTE
command, separating slashes will be shown in every dis-
play of DATE (see Fig. 5.1).
