‘Set the time/date’ allows you to set the clock in the system.
You can enter a time/date using the middle ‘Time to set’ options, and click ‘Set this time’. Clicking
‘Copy and Set’ does both actions.
‘Copy computer time’ will put the current PC time and date into the ‘Time to set’ options. ‘Copy system

At the moment the ‘Time to set’ is correct, click ‘Set this time’. This is most reliable on a serial cable to
the processor front panel, because there is a delay in connection from a communication interface
which can cause the request to be missed.
