Creating TagMate
®
Clock Setup Tags
A second type of TagMate
®
Configuration Tag is used to set the real-time clock on
the TagMate USB
®
. The creation of a clock setup tag is activated when in Configure
& Start mode in
Session Manager
, as shown below:
When the checkbox is checked, a tag will be marked as a clock setup tag. After
starting the tag in this way, simply read it with a TagMate USB
®
and the clock will be
updated.
Notes:
1. A log interval between 0.1 and 1.0 minute is recommended for Clock Setup Tags,
as it will give optimal precision to the clock setting operation. The log delay must
be zero.
2. Once a Clock Setup tag is full, it can no longer be used. Based on a log interval of
0.1 to 1.0 minutes, the useable timespan on a Clock Setup tags is between 1 hour
and 10 hours. To continue use, simply restart the tag in Session Manager as
described (make sure to check the “TagMate Clock Setup Tag” box each time).
The currently-stored configuration and clock setting can be checked by consulting
the power-up message in the activity log whenever a USB drive is inserted (path:
TAGMATE\ACTIVITY.LOG). Note that the time stamp on the power-up message is
given in GMT.
