Synchronize Time Zone on Instrument and 
Computer 
 
Your  instrument's  date  and  time  may  differ  from  that  of  the  computer 
which  receives  the  recordings,  particularly  if  you  are  sending  recordings 
to  a  country  or  region  in  a  different  time  zone.  You  can  synchronize  your 
instrument  time  with  that  of  the  host  (data  recipient)  computer  by 
automatically  updating  the  instrument's  date/time  each  time  you 
transfer  data  using  Send  or  Receive. 
 
To  use  this  feature,  the  receiving  computer  must  have  Synchronize  VB 
Date  and  Time  with  the  PC  switched  on.
