User's Manual

Nordic ID PL3000 user manual, v. 2.6, October 2006 81

The AskTime application is a standalone application called AskTime.exe. It is used by the SNTP service

if so conﬁ gured on page 1. The Quick Help button contains a brief description of how the application

works. When the PL3000 starts up after a cold boot, its date will be set to 1.1.2005. For this reason

we may assume that if the date is set to some value prior to 1.1.2006 the correct date and time is not

currently known. If the date and time is past this date, either the SNTP request has previously gone

trough or the user has already conﬁ gured the correct time once. By checking the “Query user only when

time < 2006” you conﬁ gure AskTime to ask the user to enter the correct time only when completely

necessary. AskTime will in any case not allow the user to enter a date prior to 1.1.2006.
