To set system date and time

From Workbench with a platform connection to new JACE-603 or JACE-645, do the following:

1. Double-click Platform Administration. The Platform Administration view appears.

2. Click the Change Date/Time button. A Set System Date/Time popup dialog appears.

   
   
   

3. Set the proper date, time, and time zone in the popup dialog.

   Typically, you click “Use Local” to synchronize the remote JACE’s date, time, and time zone with your Workbench PC (assuming that your Workbench PC's current date/time setting are accurate). The date, time, and time zone fields all update to reflect those current values.

   Alternatively, use controls for the three entry fields to set the current Date, Time, and Time Zone.

   • 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.

   • Time

     Always displays in 24-hour format. Click in a hour or minute position to select, then click up/down controls, or click and type in numerals directly.

   • Time Zone

     Provides a drop-down selection list of all available time zones in NiagaraAX. Each time zone provides a text description, and in parenthesis the “hour offset” from UTC (and if daylight savings time is used) the “offset plus daylight savings.”  For example: America/New_York (-5,-4).

4. When done, click Save. The remote host will immediately use those settings.
