Date and Time

Date and time must be set in order for events and results to get the correct time stamp for when they occurred. The time is retrieved from one of three available sources:

  • Manual − the date, time, and time zone are set manually.

  • NTP − the date and time are retrieved from an NTP (Network Time Protocol) server defined in the user interface.

  • ToolsNet − the date and time are retrieved from the ToolsNet server.

A functional network connection is required for the NTP and ToolsNet time sources.
