Web Interface - Clock Settings (ctd.)
8. Bias Seconds - This setting has two applications:
The first application: is to allow the user to set a fraction of an hour for GMT/UTC offset when the clock
is used as a time zone clock and required to present a time where the GMT offset is less than an hour. For
example, the city of Adelaide in Australia has a +10:30 GMT/UTC offset. In this scenario, the clock would
be configured with +10 hours in field number 9, while for adjusting the half hour difference, the value
1800 seconds should be entered, which reflects 30 minutes.
The second application: Some applications require the clock to display an offset time with a set value
from the actual time. For example, if the time received is 12:00, offsetting the bias second + or – will cause
the clock to display this offset time from the actual received time. This range permits -9999 seconds to
+9999 seconds.
9. GMT Offset - This setting allows the user to set which time zone the clock will use when displaying the
time. For instance, London is an offset of 0, New York is an offset of -5 and Hong Kong is an offset of +8.
The clock may be configured to function as part of a Zone Clock through this option.
10. Submit - Applies any changes to the previous options when pressed.
11. Firmware Update - If the clock is able to access the Internet, it will automatically check to see if a
firmware update is available. If a firmware update is available and you wish to update your firmware, click
on the Update Firmware button. Your web browser may prompt you for additional confirmation before
performing the update. This line will appear only if the clock detects that a firmware update is available.
