time updates in the UK

[mikeyb123]

Is it possible to set a a automatic time update in the md110? The UK is going to summer time this coming weekend.

software we're running bc8 and bc9

It's not getting any smarter out there. You have to come to terms with stupidity, and make it work for you.

not that I know of . But DNA 5.0 does this quite nicely.

You can automate WINFIOL to do this for you using the PCtime. Create a schedule and a macro within WINFIOL. There is a time setting example in WINFIOL, go HELP/Macros.

God idea meggles field .

Maybe you can use something from this one i wrote:
Save this as as catii.cmd an call it from a compiled macro file with "send" [drive:\][path\]catii.cmd
Just have the pc set to correct timesone and to update itself for daylight saving.
And preferably synced with a timeserver .

=====================================================
@SET {state} = 0
@SET {calib1} = ,CALIB=
@SET {calib2} = NONE

@ASK {calib2} Give calib info NONE / BEGIN /END
@IF {calib2} = "NONE" THEN SET {state} = 1
@GOTO yescalib

@LABEL yescalib
@IF {state} = 1 THEN GOTO nocalib
@GETDAY {day} SUN MON TUE WED THU FRI SAT
@GETDATE {date} DD/MM-YYYY
@GETTIME {time} HH:MM
@COMMENT Date and time from PC is : {day} {date} {time}
@COMMENT Calibration type is :{calib2}
@GETDATE {date} YYYY-MM-DD
@GETTIME {time} HH-MM
CATIIATE={date},TIME={time}{calib1}{calib2};
@GOTO end

@LABEL nocalib
@GETDAY {day} SUN MON TUE WED THU FRI SAT
@GETDATE {date} DD/MM-YYYY
@GETTIME {time} HH:MM
@COMMENT Date and time from PC is : {day} {date} {time}
@COMMENT Calibration type is :{calib2}
@GETDATE {date} YYYY-MM-DD
@GETTIME {time} HH-MM
CATIIATE={date},TIME={time};
@GOTO end



@LABEL end
@EXIT
=====================================================



E.g : dialog taken out .
=============================
@LABEL nocalib
@GETDAY {day} SUN MON TUE WED THU FRI SAT
@GETDATE {date} DD/MM-YYYY
@GETTIME {time} HH:MM
@GETDATE {date} YYYY-MM-DD
@GETTIME {time} HH-MM
CATIIATE={date},TIME={time};
@EXIT
==============================

You can use MD110 Support (DNA tool) to sync the MD110 time automatically (scheduled, e.g. every night) with the time on the DNA server, including daylight saving.
If you sync your DNA server with a reliable time source, your time will be much better than the standard MD110 clock can provide.

much easier on monday morning to do catii:time=
