5.6.7 Setting of the time synchronisation period {SyPE}
({MEnu}→){SEt}→{SyPE}
The time synchronisation period specifies how often an NDC clock or a network of NDC clocks will be
synchronised in an NDC-net. If there is no synchronisation module in the network, of if it does not sent
synchronisation data into the network, the synchronisation role is taken upon by the clock with address “A001”,
so-called Master clock. The period is specified in minutes.
{SyPE}
period setting in the range 0 – 255
defalult 1.
If 0 is set, the time synchronisation is switched off, i.e. the clock (or a clock network) is not synchronised.
5.6.8 Stopwatch mode setting {StMo} (only for 6-digit NDC clocks)
({MEnu}→){SEt}→{StMo}
6-character stopwatch (NDC xxx/6) can work in two modes:
a/ Hourly mode {M_59}
In this mode, when 59 minutes and 59.99 seconds are reached, the stopwatch will move to a new hour
and
continues in HH:MM:SS mode (59:59.99 →1:00:00→...→99:59:59).
b/ Minute mode {M_99}
After reaching the state 59 minutes and 59.99 seconds, the stopwatch will continue with counting minutes
up to 99th minute remaining in MM:SS.hh mode (59:59.99 →60:00.00→...→99:59.99).
After reaching the maximum time, the stopwatch will start counting from the beginning.
Setting of the mode.
{StMo}
setting of {M_59}/{M_99} (hour/minute mode), NDC xxx/4
default {M_99};
NDC xxx/6
default {M_59}.
After choosing the {StMo} parameter, the display will show the current mode of the stop watch. By the
Switch
between values
button ◄/► it is possible to switch between the hour and minute mode of the stopwatch.
Note: The 4-digit clock (NDC xxx/4) always works in the minute mode of the stopwatch, i.e. up to 99:59.
5.7 Stopwatch
The NDC clock may be used in the stopwatch mode. For displaying stopwatch data, it is necesssary to set the
{StPE} parameter to the required period of displaying, see chapter
5.4 Data display period setting {diSP}
. If
you want to ensure only the displaying of the stopwatch, set the parameters for the rest of the displayed data
to 0.
Types NDC xxx/4 display the time measurement by distinguishing of seconds:hundredths of seconds, with
automatic switching to minutes:seconds when seconds are filled up, up to the maximum 99:59. NDC xxx/6
types allow to work in two modes, so-called hourly one (up to 99:59:59) and a minute one (up to 99:59.99).
See more detailed information in chapter
5.6.8 Stopwatch mode setting {StMo} (only for 6-digit NDC clocks)
.
If the stopwatch is not stopped, when it reaches the maximum displayed value according to the selected mode,
it is reset automatically and continues with the measurement from the beginning.
5.7.1 Control of the stopwatch
The stopwatch can be controlled only if the measured time is currently shown on the display (e.g. in the case
of alternating display together with other data). Therefore we recommend not to alternate the stopwatch display
with other data and to display it alone.
5.7.1.1 Stopwatch control by a remote controller
When the clock is switched on or when it is reset, the display will show 00:00.00 or 00.00 and it is ready for
further operation.
The stopwatch is started by the
START
► button. If the
PAUSE
▐ ▌
button is pressed during the running, the
display will “freeze” the current value of the measured time (intermediate time), which the measurement will
continue in the background. After the pressing of the
START
►button again the display will show the measu
red
time again.
If, during the measurement you press the
STOP
■ button, the display will show the current value of the
measured time and stop the measurement. When you press the
STOP
■ button when an intermediate time is
displayed (i.e. after the previous pressing of the
PAUSE
▐ ▌
button) the time measurement running in the
background will stop and the final time will be displayed.
If the stowatch is in the stop mode, it is possible to start it again with the
START
►button from the measured
time it displays.
