Main Window 

Each clock can be configured to display local time, using time zone offsets and DST 

settings.  These offset changes are made relative to UTC time. The clock always 

interprets the incoming time code as UTC. 

 

The top left section of the main window shows the firmware version and serial 

number of the clock.  Located below this information is the current status of the 

clock display, this information is constantly updated.  The 

Local Time

 is the time 

displayed on the clock face, including any time zone, or DST offset information.   

 

The 

UTC Time

 is the internal time reference derived from the incoming time code 

and treated as UTC. This display update is not precise, but is meant to give you a 

view of the clock display time for basic troubleshooting and maintenance purposes.  

Also included is a 

Time Code Status

 which displays the type of incoming time code 

&/or the synchronization status. 

  

 

The 

Time Zone 

and 

Daylight Saving Time

 buttons, included in the right half of the 

window, give the clock complete flexibility to set and display any time zone and 

worldwide DST combination.   

 

Time Zone Offset

 

Modify the time zone by first clicking the 

Time Zone 

button.  This opens a new 

window that gives you a list of time zones, including descriptions to help with the 

selection.  Select the desired time zone and click 

OK

 to close the window.  Changes 

are applied when you click 

OK

.
