Auto-clock Settings (SNTP Settings)
If you make the TR-7W clock settings manually, the clock will lose its settings
upon removal of the AC adaptor or after restarting the system. However, by
making settings to enable the SNTP server it is possible to have the clock
automatically reset to the current time upon restarting the system.
If the TR-7W’s date and time are set incorrectly, the programmed recording
start time, the download data time, and the monitor current readings time will
all be wrong. We therefore strongly suggest that you make settings to use the
SNTP server.
- The SNTP (NTP) server is a server that automatically adjusts the clock settings of a terminal
on a network.
1.
Open the [TR-7W Settings Utility], click on the [Detailed Network Settings] tab,
and gather the settings for the TR-7W logger that you wish to make settings for.
2.
Click the [Change Settings] button and the Detailed Network Settings window
will appear, where you can make changes to the settings.
3.
Under [SNTP Settings], click “ON” to change the setting.
How to find an NTP server
- If you are connected to an intra company LAN, you may already have an NTP server for your
network. Please ask your network administrator for details.
- If you are connected to the Internet, some providers will have an NTP server open to the
public. Please ask your provider for details.
- If you wish to use an NTP server that is open to the general public on the Internet, it is
possible to make a search for [NTP server] using Yahoo or Google. Many universities or
scientific facilities will have the NTP server open to the public.Make sure to use a server
which is the closet to your location.
Please also make sure to check whether connection is free and without limitation.
It should also be noted that depending on your Internet connection and your firewall settings,
the NTP packet may be prohibited from being accepted into your system.
