CLOCK Picture (Setting the Real Time Clock)

The date and time of the internal real time
clock can be set in this picture. By pressing
keys on the Panel, the date and the time are
entered in input fields on the Panel display.
The real time clock however, is only set
when function key F1 (SET HH/MM/SS) or
F2 (SET MM/DD/YYYY) is pressed.

To set the real time clock on the PANELWARE Panel, internal variables are used. The following
table lists these variables and their functions:

Variable name

DATE_DD_S

The input fields are scaled, limiting the entry to a valid range for time and date values. Date and
time are set through key functions.
