Using NTP to Sync the Meter Clock
9-2
There are several ways that you can update the time on the meter: by
using GPS, NTP servers, PC clock, or by manually setting the time. This
page is designed to be manually updated. However, when your time
zone is set accurately, the time automatically updates for Daylight
Savings time.

9.3 Using NTP to Sync the Meter Clock
The 831C communicates with NTP servers to sync the internal clock
with the most accurate time. This requires a valid Internet connection
through Ethernet, wireless modem, or WiFi.
Before you begin:
• Set the correct Time Zone (
Menu
System Properties
Time
).
Step 1
On the meter, go to
System Properties
NTP
.
Stop the measurement
before setting time,
otherwise the time waits to
update until the next Stop.
Set your time zone first
then select
Save
.
If you have NTP time it is not
necessary to set this. If you
want to manually set time
and override any syncing,
adjust this and select
Set
Time
.
Close and select
Yes
to save
your changes.
