Setting the Time and Date

It is very important that your PC system’s time and date are correct before running the EventView program. When retrieving data from the recorder, the EventView program uses the PC’s internal clock for time and date reference. (See the following note.)

∙With Windows running, set the time from the Control Panel in Program Manager.

∙Windows 95/98/NT users open the Control Panel from the Taskbar by choosing Start, Settings, and Control Panel.

Information about setting the time can be found in the Windows User’s Guide.

Note

If your PC’s internal clock switched from summer time to winter time or vice versa during the period that the VR101 is capturing events, you should correct the Start Time and the End time (if date and time indicated) of the events that occurred up to the time change by adding or subtracting one hour. (See “Viewing the Events Tab on page 23.
