5.9.1 Watch
The watch in the upper left corner of the central screen gives a permanent
display of the current time and date. The standard time reference is an inter-
nal real-time clock (RTC) with battery back-up. The RTC continues to run
when the console is switched off as well. Therefore, it is unnecessary to set
the watch on each power up. There are three different display modes (analog/
radio/digital clock), and two different date formats (20.Jul.2007 or Jul-20-
2007) available, they can be selected in the configuration tool (see chapter
6.5.33.1).
5.9.1.1 Time and Date Setting
The watch is set in the Admin - Date Time page (see chapter 5.3.8.4). The
following parameters can be set:
• Time and date (only if free-running, i.e. Time Sync Source = None)
• Offset; used whenever a temporary offset between the actual watch time
and the time display is desired. If a temporary offset is set, the Offset
indicator in the upper right corner of the dial turns red, as shown left. This
offset is automatically reset when powering on the console the next time.
On the Admin - Date Time page, the selected time sync source is displayed
for reference.
5.9.1.2 Watch Configuration
The configuration tool allows specifying the time display mode and the time/
date format (User GUI - Settings, see chapter 6.5.33.1) as well as the time
sync reference, a time zone selection, and automatic daylight saving time
switchover for use with NTP and GPS syncronisation (Config - System Time,
see chapter 6.5.15).
Possible synchronization sources for the watch:
• None (i.e. free-running, controlled by the internal RTC). The sync indica-
tor is displayed in gray, as shown in chapter 5.9.1.1.
• Network (NTP time server)
• Monitora
In NTP and Monitora mode, the sync indicator is displayed in white on black
background, as shown in chapter 5.9.1. If the synchronization fails, it turns
red, as shown left.
