6. TIME ZONE TAB

A time stamp is included in email messages and in streaming data sent by the Node. If the
Node has a path to the Internet (also required for email), the Node will automatically obtain
accurate UTC/GMT time (Coordinated Universal Time or Greenwich Mean Time) from an online
time server. The Node’s time zone or the offset from UTC/GMT time must be also supplied
using this screen.

To set the Node’s time zone, select the Region as “USA/Canada” or “Other”. If the selected
Region is “USA/Canada”, the program offers eight selectable time zones, each with the cor-
responding offset from UTC/GMT in hours. The offset is corrected for Daylight Saving time if
that box is checked. If the selected Region is “Other”, the offset from UTC/GMT needs to be
entered in +/- hh:mm format. If the offset time for a particular region is unknown, go to an
Internet source such as www.timetemperature.com. To enter your selections, press “Put”. To
read previously entered selections, press “Get”.

Note: Only one instance of Node Manager can connect to the same Node at the same time.
