Configuring the 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:

When the source is set to Manual the date, time, and time zone are set manually.

When the source is set to NTP, the date and time is retrieved from an NTP server defined in the GUI.

When the source is set to ToolsNet, the date and time is retrieved fron the ToolsNet server.
