Current system time
This entry shows the currently set date and time.
Set system time
This is where you set the system time for the SINAUT MD741-1. This system time
is:
●
used as a time stamp for all log entries, and
●
serves as a time basis for all time-controlled functions.
Select the year, month, day, hour and minute.
Local timezone / region
The NTP time servers communicate the UTC (
= Universal Time Coordinated
). To
specify the time zone, select a city near the location near where the SINAUT
MD741-1 will be operating. The time in this time zone will then be used as the
system time.
Activate NTP synchronization
The SINAUT MD741-1 can also obtain the system time from a time server via NTP
(
= Network Time Protocol
). There are a number of time servers on the Internet that
can be used to obtain the current time very precisely via NTP.
