Setting the date/time on BrightSign (HD2000 only)
BrightSign HD2000 has a real-time clock that you can use to schedule content playback. In order
to use the scheduling features, you must first set the date and time on BrightSign.
BrightSign has written a script that provides an interactive means for setting the date/time on
BrightSign. The script is named SETDATETIME.BAS and is available at
www.brightsign.biz/support in the software download section.
Instructions for using the date/time script:
1 Go to www.brightsign.biz/support and click the Software Downloads link.
2 Under HD2000, click the SetDateTime Script link to download the SETDATETIME.ZIP file.
3 Expand the SETDATETIME.ZIP file, which contains a script named SETDATETIME.BAS.
4 Copy SETDATETIME.BAS into the root directory of a CF/SD card and rename it
AUTORUN.BAS.
5 Connect a USB keyboard or a GPIO button board to your BrightSign.
6 Insert the CF/SD card into your BrightSign and apply power.
7 Wait a few moments for the date/time screen to appear and enter the current date and time.
Once you set the date/time on BrightSign, the real-time clock maintains accurate time even if you
turn your BrightSign off and on.
