17.3.2 Date and time
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. By default, the instrument is set to the UTC timezone,
but you can select the timezone according to your location.
Moreover, the instrument supports NTP protocol for synchronizing all connected instru-
ments and computer systems to minimize time delays in the network.
