Instrument Clock Date/Time Synchronizaon
When the instrument is congured to transmit test results to a data manager or to receive paent,
operator, or cartridge lists from a data manager, the instrument will automacally synchronize the date
and me of its clock with the data manager’s me. This opon eliminates the need to adjust the
instrument’s clock at the beginning and end of Daylight Saving Time.
To enable communicaon with data manager:
1. Install a customizaon prole with one of the following features selected:
-Test Records
-Operator List
-Paent List
-Cartridge List
2. Use NCi to congure the instrument for wired or wireless connecvity.
Note: When selecng only wireless connecvity ensure that wireless is enabled on
both the instrument and in the customizaon prole.
To ensure instrument me is synchronized with the data manager aer a change in Daylight Saving Time,
power on the instrument and leave it on the Home screen unl the correct me is displayed on the
Home screen before performing cartridge tesng.
For instrument me synchronizaon to occur, the instrument must also have a wired or wireless
connecon to the network hosng the data manager. The instrument may aempt to synchronize me
when it is communicang with a data manager to send results or receive lists. The instrument will also
aempt to synchronize me at power-on, so long as the Home screen is being displayed.
By default, instrument date/me synchronizaon is enabled, provided the condions above are met, and
the opon to Synchronize Clock with Data Manager is enabled. To disable the automac
synchronizaon of date/me, run the Set Clock ow on the instrument and uncheck the box for
Synchronize Clock with Data Manager. Unchecking this box disables automac synchronizaon of date/
me with the data manager and enables the opon to manually adjust the date/me. The Synchronize
Clock with Data Manager check box is only available on the Set Clock screen when the instrument is
congured to communicate with a data manager.
