Timer Section
The control surface timer is provided with an
AUTO-RESTART function so that programmed
(via the GUI) input modules can automatically
reset the timer display (located on the upper-left
side of the main E-4 GUI screen) to zero and start
a new count, allowing the announcer to easily track
his own pace. The AUTO button on the Monitor
Panel must be lit to enable this function.
The S/S (start/stop) button halts the timer, holds the last count, and then
restarts and accumulates the count when depressed again
—
perfect for com-
piling tapes of desired duration.
RESET has a dual-mode capability:
- if you depress it while the timer is counting, the display will instantly
reset to zero and start a fresh count;
- if the timer is already stopped, depressing this button will reset the timer
to zero, where it will hold until start is pressed.
The HOLD button allows you to hold the display for a longer viewing
duration, while still allowing the counter to continue in the background.
Releasing the button will then display the current count.
Time of Day Clock
The main Embedded E-4 GUI
screen includes the digital and ana-
log displays of a time of day clock in
12 or 24 hour format. 12/24 opera-
tion is set by making the desired
choice on the Options Tab - Misc
Options.
To set the time on this clock, run
the Wheatstone utility program,
WSTimeSet.exe, on a network com-
puter. The program allows you to set
the clocks on multiple control sur-
faces by specifying the IP addresses
of the control surfaces in a list. A
single command then updates all
specified clocks. Program options
allow auto updating at midnight or at
the top of the hour. See Appendix 1
for details. The time of day is read
from the PC’s time of day clock so
the PC must be kept synchronized to a network time server, GPS clock,
master clock system, etc.
