The application time synchronization ‘Sync now’ button in the ‘Change time options’ window of the
microAeth Manager (click the ‘Time options’ button on the main application window), can be used
to manually synchronize the time of the microAeth and the computer. When time is synchronized, a

The timezone offset dropdown and ‘Set timezone offest’ button in the ‘Change time options’ window of
the microAeth Manager (click the ‘Time options’ button on the main application window), can be used
to select and set a timezone offset from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) to be used as part of the ISO
8601 time and date format in the instrument and recorded with instrument measurement data. Daylight
savings time offsets are not automatically adjusted by the instrument or the microAeth Manager. Select
the desired value from the dropdown and click the button ‘Set timezone offset’ to save. When the
