Setting Timers and Summer/Winter Time

The Timer function can be used to trigger a number of event/action functions. It can

also set the time interval between digital printouts of analog values, or between logging

printouts.

Select type of Timer

Summer/Winter Time

If your hardware device is equipped with the /L1 option it is possible to let the hardware

automatically change its date and time to summer or winter time when appropriate. If

you specify Summer Time the time will be adjusted to one hour later when the specified

date and time is reached. If you specify Winter Time, the time will be adjusted to one

hour earlier when the specified date and time is reached.

Make sure the Summer/Winter Time option is activated in the System Configuration

setting screen.

Note

• Don’t set time zones using the Windows system autoexec.bat (Place the REM command

before commands like TZ=GMTO for autoexec.bat). To set time zones select the required

time zone in the Windows OS Date/Time Properties setting screen (Start Menu > Settings

> Control Panel > Date/Time), and check the “Automatically adjust clock for daylight saving

changes” checkbox.

• In the Windows OS Date/Time Properties setting screen (Start Menu > Settings > Control

Panel > Date/Time) always make sure to check the “Automatically adjust clock for daylight

saving changes” checkbox, even if you do not wish to use daylight saving changes for DAQ

32 software. If you don’t check the setting, errors may occur for the DARWIN Daylight

Saving Time function.
