If the date and time of the driver is - 3 minutes to the phone settings, it is displayed in black, if the difference
between the driver time and the phone time is more than 3 minutes, it will be displayed in blue, which suggests that
time synchronization should be carried out. In order to synchronize time, press the driver time. This will display a
dialog box with information about the confirmation of the time synchronization operation, see figure below.
Pressing the "Synchronize" button will set the driver to the same time as the phone.
5.5 Switch-on and switch-off times of the outputs
After establishing a connection with the driver, the following time related parameters are displayed on the START
screen below the date and time:
sunrise and sunset times for the current position of the driver.
the last switch-off times of A, B and C outputs of the driver
future switch-on times of A, B and C outputs for current driver settings
For the factory settings, the switch-on time is shifted by +15 minutes compared to the sunset time and the switch-off
time is shifted by -15 minutes compared to the sunrise time.
5.5.1
Algorithm for determining switch-on/off times
In the ASTmidi / ASTmidi controller the GPS astronomical switch-on and switch-off times of the outputs can be
calculated as follows:
Calculated from the GPS position, i.e. switch-on/-off time is equivalent to the sunrise/sunset time for the driver
current geographical po15 minutes.
