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.
