5.1.6 System Time
Clicking the Set Time button shown in the lower-right area of Figure 13 opens the
window depicted in Figure 16
— where you can configure these settings:

System Time Here you can read the date and time or manually set
them
— but only if you disable the NTP option.

NTP Configuration is discussed in Section 5.1.6.1 .

DST Configuration is discussed in Section 5.1.6.2 .
5.1.6.1 NTP (Network Time Protocol)
NTP is a protocol which synchronizes clocks to UTC (Coordinated Universal Time).
By default as shown in the upper-right portion of
Figure 16 , NTP is disabled, but an
NTP server IP address is shown. When NTP is enabled, the NTP server will be
queried and the BASC20 time will be synchronized at startup
— and at midnight
during each refresh period.

NTP Enable You can enable Network Time Protocol (disabled by default).

NTP Server Change the default IP address (130.149.17.21), if needed.

Time Zone Set the Time Zone to match that of your location.

NTP Refresh (Days) Change the default value (1) if needed.
NTP does not support local time zone changes such as for DST (Daylight Saving
Time, aka Summer Time).
5.1.6.2 DST (Daylight Saving Time, aka Summer Time)
DST Configuration is provided as displayed in the lower-right portion of Figure 16 ,
because NTP cannot adjust them. Drop-down menus allow you to set the date and
the time after midnight for enabling and disabling DST. Be sure to click Update NTP
& DST after making changes.
