Files on the FP-20xx Have a "Modified Date" of January 01, 2098, 12:00 AM

Primary Software: Driver Software>>FieldPoint Explorer
Primary Software Version: 3.0.1
Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A
Secondary Software: Utility Software>>Measurement & Automation Explorer

Problem: The modified time and date of any file on a FP-20xx is always: January 01, 2098, 12:00 AM.
Why does this happen? Is there a way to get the correct time?

Solution: This default time occurs on any FP-20xx's when 1) no time synchronization has been configured and 2) no battery backup for the clock is present.

To show the correct time on an FP-20xx, synchronize the time to a computer running the logos time service. To do this, follow these steps:

1) Open Fieldpoint Explorer
2) Expand out all the communication resources
3) Right click on your "comm resource" (example: FP Res)
4) Select "Edit this Comm Resource"
5) In the Comm Resource configuration window, click the "Browse" button
6) In the Remote System Explorer, Configure Device... » Servers.

Newer revisions of the FP-2000 also have a battery backup and will maintain the system time (even through power cycles).

See Chapter 3 of the FP-2000/2010 User Manual for more information on configuring the time synchronization.
