Date Menu
The date menu page allows the user
to synchronise the camera time to
an SNTP server. In this instance it is
necessary to have the PC connected
to a network.
If a network connection is not
available it is possible to synchronise
the camera to the PC time by ticking
the “Sync Camera to PC Time” check
box and pressing the
submit
button.
The “UTC Offset” can be altered to
align the camera time with the local
time zone. Changes are only enabled
when the
submit
button is pressed.
To align the camera to the actual PC
time the “UTC Offset” should be made
same as the value displayed in the “PC
UTC Offset” field.

It is possible to update the camera
encoder firmware of the TMC 3.
There are three steps to updating
