General Configuration Screen Fields

The following information briefly explains each General Configuration Screen field.

Module Serial #

Displays the serial number of the selected module.

Module Board Revision

Displays the version number of the selected module.

FLASH Memory

Displays the amount (megabytes) of flash memory in the selected module.

Module Date

Contains a value that the module recognizes as the current date. To enter a new date, highlight the field and enter the date in MM/DD/YYYY format. The month and day portion of the date must include two digits. Therefore, enter a leading zero for months January through September, and for dates less than 10. For example, for June 4, 1996, enter 06/04/1996 (slashes are optional). If you do not enter slashes to separate the month, day, and year values, the first eight digits you enter in this field represent an entry (i.e., 06041996).

Module Time

Contains a value that the module recognizes as the current time. To enter a new time, highlight the field and enter the time in HH:MM:SS format. Notice that there is no AM/PM indicator. Time should be entered based upon a 24-hour clock. For 4:07 p.m., enter 16:07:00 (colons are optional). If you do not enter colons to separate the hours, minutes, and seconds values, the first six digits you enter in this field represent an entry (i.e., 160700). For 6:12 a.m., enter 6:12:00 or 061200.

NOTE

The module’s default date and time settings are indeterminate. The internal calendar and clock begin running as soon as you install the module.

Screen Refresh Time

Contains the rate at which the module’s screens are updated. This setting determines how frequently (in seconds) information is updated on the screen. To enter a new refresh rate, highlight the field and enter a number. The default refresh rate is 3 seconds. The range is 3 - 99 seconds.
