SCS PTC-IIex, Manual

Page: 66 / 220

6 Commands
CYcle
defines the cycle length used for a PACTOR-II connect. Usually this command is
used for test purposes (speed comparison) and is described for the sake of completeness.
6.33 DAte
Remote
Default setting: none
Parameter: DD.MM.YY Desired date.
Arguments are ignored during remote control.
DAte
is used to set or read the PTC calendar. If
DAte
is entered without a parameter, the
PTC-IIex displays the current date.
All positions have to be entered. Leading zeros must not be omitted. The periods for
separation are not necessary. Faulty inputs cause incorrect programming of the clock
chip!
From 01.01.1990 up to 31.12.2089, the day of the week is automatically calculated from
the date. Thus your PTC-IIex is well equipped for the future.
Required date Sunday 24th March 2005.
