Typically, if your Workbench PC’s current date/time setting are accurate, you click the Use Local button to synchronize the remote host’s date, time, and time zone with your Workbench PC. Upon Save, the remote host will have the identical settings.

NOTE: To keep time synchronized across multiple platforms, configure the NtpPlatformService in the PlatformServices of the station running on each platform, as appropriate.

The Save button becomes available after you change one or more fields in the window, or when you click Use Local. Upon Save, any change is processed by the host’s operating system.

To set the date, click in a day-month-year position to select, then click up/down controls, or click and type in numerals directly, or click the calendar icon for a popup dialog to select the date from a calendar.
To set the time, click in a hour or minute position to select, then click up/down controls, or click and type in numerals directly.
