The time is displayed as MM / DD / YYYY.
Time Zone
The time zone the desk is using. This is an offset from Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). Each setting
in the pull-down list displays the offset, the name of the time zone and a couple of cities in that time
zone.
Language
Allows you to select the display language of Ion. Choices are English, Bulgarian, German, Spanish,
French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Chinese - simplified, and Chinese - traditional.
When you click on a field to change the
entry, an appropriate keyboard (numbers
only vs. full alphanumeric) will pop-up to
provide a data-entry method even without
a keyboard connected to the desk.
If you do have a USB keyboard attached, you
can use either keyboard for the data-entry.
