— Baud rate Sets the rate in bits per second 1 for RS-232 remote control. The serial
format is always 8 bits, no parity, one stop bit (8N1). See section 6,
System Level functions.

— Set time ZephyrExpress’ clock will keep track of the time and date in US or
European styles, depending on how you enter it. To set the clock, se-
lect this item and enter the current date and time according to the in-
structions below. Hours are in military (24-hour) format. You may
enter the year as two digits if you prefer; the Y2K rollover is hardly
relevant to ZephyrExpress. You may omit entering the seconds if you
prefer.
To set the clock for US-style dates, enter the date and time using this
format. The pound sign — # — is used as the separator.
mm#dd#yyyy#hh#mm#ss For example, 1:00 PM on De-
cember 25, 1999, would be entered as 12#25#1999#13#00#00 , or
— if you shorten the year and omit the seconds — as
12#25#99#13#00 .
To set the clock for European-style dates, enter the date and time
using this format. The star sign —
* — is used as the separator:
dd*mm*yyyy*hh*mm*ss For example, 11:30 AM on Janu-
ary 5, 2000, would be entered as 05*01*2000*11*30*00 , or — if
you shorten the year and omit the seconds — as
05*01*00*11*30 .
— Software The first four choices of this item are used when installing new soft-
ware versions. See section 6, System Functions, or the instructions
that are shipped with the software.
This item also includes two choices for resetting ZephyrExpress in
case of system problems:
Reboot — This reloads the software without restarting the hardware
(“warm boot”).
Hart Reset — This restarts the hardware and reloads the software
(“cold boot”).
1 Most people confuse Baud rate, used in low-speed modems, with bits per second. But
they’re not the same thing. Bits per second is correct in this application — goodness,
you’d expect us to know that — but we couldn’t fit it on the LCD.
