The R&S
SMA100B uses an internal real-time clock to determine the date and time. It
adjusts the time and date to the timezone of your location automatically, by providing a
selection list of continents and cities.
The instrument records the time whenever you create or modify files on your instru-
ment or you use timed licenses.
In addition, the instrument supports NTP (Network Time Protocol) for synchronizing all
connected instruments and computer systems to minimize time delays in the network.

tem.
