SECTION 3: GETTING STARTED
SET THE REAL-TIME CLOCK
Data collection schedules depend on the device’s real-time clock,
shown in the lower right corner of the desktop PC interface. If the
device clock is wrong, be sure to correct it before scheduling tests.
Set the clock as follows:
1. With the device selected in the Navigation tree, press Edit.
2. In the Device Wizard, select Clock.
3. Follow the instructions to synchronize the MP TROLL 9500’s inter-
nal real-time clock to the host computer.
4. When you finish the Wizard, Win-Situ sends the information to the
device and updates the display.
TIP: Due to the size of the PDA screen, the device clock is
not displayed in the Pocket-Situ interface. We recommend

synchronize the device clock to the PDA clock.
