ADPRO FastTrace, Issue 5 2 - 13
2.3.1.3.1 Time Zone
Database records within the ADPRO FastTrace are timestamped using Universal Time (UT). The Time Zone field is
used to define the number of hours and minutes that the actual site location is ahead (or behind) the UT reference of 0
degrees of longitude (Greenwich UK).
2.3.1.3.2 Daylight Saving
In regions where daylight saving is implemented, for example over the summer months, users can enter the start and
finish dates to ensure the ADPRO FastTrace clock is automatically corrected. The Daylight Savings Enable check
box is used to start this feature and allow entry of the start and finish dates.
ADPRO FastTrace implements daylight saving start and finish at 2 am local time (02H00) and will advance the time
by 1 hour.
2.3.2 Communications
The Communications category provides configuration settings for the Ethernet and two serial communication ports.

WARNING
Changing the current time/date setting is done via the ADPRO Video Central Lite when it is
connected on-line to an ADPRO FastTrace unit. When changing the current time backwards (i.e.
the displayed time is ahead of the correct local time), use 60 second
steps (or less) to move back to the correct time. Entering a value greater than 60 seconds
will result in lost data.
This warning only applies to changes to the value for current time and does not
apply to Time Zone or Daylight Saving changes.
