1. Click the “
Read Clock
” button, as shown in Image
O. The default settings will populate the tabs on
the “SBDconfig” software. Once the “
Read
Clock
” button is clicked, another window will
open that will signify the upload process.
2. The clock software will contain different tabs
depending on the settings that need to be
changed. These tabs are highlighted in Image P.
3. You may now edit the clock settings with the
“SBDconfig” Software. Once new settings
have been configured, they can be applied to the
clock by pressing the “
Update Clock
” button on
each tab, as shown in Image Q. Alternatively,
“Load Clock” can also be used to apply settings.
At this stage, the USB programming cable has been configured and is ready to be used.
The USB programming cable, along with the “
SBDconfig
” Software, allows the user to program the clock
with any of its advanced settings per user preferences.
This section will cover these advanced clock settings such as: Brightness Schedules, alternating between
time and date, and setting the duration of how long the time is to be displayed versus the date (for
example: display the time for 7 seconds and display the date for 3 seconds). If a clock was purchased with
a temperature sensor, the user can also program the display intervals, and any additional advanced settings
may be applicable, as explained in the manual.
The first step would be to have the USB programming cable, along with the “SBDconfig” software,
identify the clock by selecting “
Read Clock
,” as explained below. Please note that one clock can be
programmed with the desired settings, and if these same settings are desired to be programmed in more
or all of the clocks, these settings can be saved on the user’s computer. Then, this settings file can be
downloaded on the following clocks. There is still a need to apply these settings by downloading the saved
file to each clock, but this will eliminate the need to program all settings again in each clock. This process is
explained later in this manual.
