Menu SETUP
From this menu, one of the configurable parameters can be selected using the NEXT
key. When the CLR/ACK key is pressed, a submenu is displayed which lets the user
view or modify the selected parameter. In each of these submenus the NEXT key lets the
cursor move to the next digit or letter to be edited whereas the INC key increments the
digit or letter under the cursor. If changes have been made, the CLR/ACK key must be
pressed in order to save those changes in the battery buffered memory, otherwise all
changes are discarded when the user presses the MENU key in order to return to the
SETUP display.
SETUP INITIAL TIME
Using this menu, GEN170's on-board real time clock can be set. When finally the
CLR/ACK button is pressed the system date and time is set to the values shown in the
display.
ADJUST SECONDS
If the system time differs by some seconds from an external reference time, this menu
can be used to adjust the internal clock to the reference time. The second and third lines
of the display show the system date and time, enabling the user to compare it to the
external time. The last line includes the two fields SEC+ and SEC-. The NEXT key can
be used to position the cursor on one of these fields. Each time the CLR/ACK key is
pressed, the system time is adjusted by one second: If the cursor is positioned on the
SEC+ field, the time is incremented by one second, otherwise it is decremented.
