unit. The alternative method is to use the system variables “TimeZone” and “UseDST”. The former holds
the number of hours by which the local time zone differs from UTC, and may be either negative or positive.
For example, a setting of –5 corresponds to Eastern Standard Time in the United States. The latter contains
either 0 or 1, depending on whether Daylight Savings Time is active. Editing either of these variables via the
user interface will result in the unit’s clock changing to take account of the new settings. For example,
enabling Daylight Savings Time will move the clock forward one hour, while disabling it will move it back. A
typical database will only need to expose “UseDST” for editing by the user, and even this may not be
necessary if the Linked DST facility described above is in use.

Using Electronic Mail
MonicoView II can be configured to send email messages when alarm conditions are present, or when
notifications need to be provided of other events within the system. The mail transports and the email
address book are configured via the Mail Manager:
Figure 19
The properties on the Mail tab are used to enable or disable the mail manager, and to provide a name for
the device on which MonicoView II is running. This name will be used within email messages to identify the
originator of the message. Applications will typically use the name of the machine to which the device is
attached, or the name of the site that it is monitoring.
