SPECTRALIS 2

8.0 Spectralis 2 Realtime Clock

When you browse the spectralis files at your computer, you will recognize,

that the files created by the Spectralis 2 have a normal timestamp. This

functionality makes it necessary to supply the Spectralis 2 with a realtime clock.

The realtime clock runs, even when you have turned off the unit. The clock is

- after around three months without any power, the goldcap will not have enough

power to drive the realtime clock anymore. In this case, the Spectralis 2 will

prompt a "set time"-dialog on power up.

If your spectralis clock is running fine but shows a different date and time as

your computer, you should set the time manually. Especcially when you are

living in a different time-zone from from the Middle-European Timezone MEZ,

setting the time is essential.

Press and hold the [Shift]-button and push the [System]-button to enter the

system-menu. The following display dialog will appear:

1/5:System SN:00xxxxxx V1.5x

Drum:OFF Contr:100 Save:Yes Load:ASK

Press [Page-Up] multiple times to reach the fifth menu page:

5/5:System SN:00xxxxxx V1.5x

SetTime SvAck:YES OvlTm:15 LMenu:DIS

Push the [SetTime]-encoder-button to open the "Set-Time" dialog. The

following display message should appear:

2005 - Okt-12 - 18:36:05

Year | Day | Time |

You can dial the date and the time with the first three encoders until the time

equals with your computer realtime clock. You can leave the menu with the

[Exit]-button.

8.1 Filetypes and the directory structure of the Spectralis flash memory

The Spectralis Flash Memory holds usually all data, the Spectralis reads during

startup. We have different file-types, which are also mentioned inside the "How

to..." chapters of the manual. We just want to give you an overview about

everything, you will find at the flash memory.

Song Folders and patterns

On the flash memory you will see a number of folders named "SONG01",

"SONG02" etc. The songfolders make it very easy to manage all files of

an entire song. If you open a song-folder, you will find the following

file-types:
