Problem: Measurements from my FP-1600 have the wrong time stamp. Is there a way to set the time on the FP-1600?

Solution: The FP-1600 generates the time stamp for measurements, so if the clock on the FP-1600 is not set correctly, then your time stamps will be off. There is an option for the FP-1600 to synchronize its clock with a machine on the network. Here is a description of how to configure the time synchronization:

1. Start the FieldPoint Explorer.
   
   
2. Right-click on the Comm Resource for the FP-1600 and select the "Edit this comm resource" menu.
   
   
3. Click on the Browse button. You will get a list of all FP-1600's on the local network.
   
   
4. Click on the module that you want to enable time synchronization on.
   
   
5. Click the Device Properties button. You will see a list of the properties of the module. One of the entries is the Time Server ID -- this is typically set to your computer's IP address. If you wish to use a different IP address, you can change it here.

Note: You can find the IP address by running winipcfg from Start >> Run on Windows 98/95 or by running ipconfig from the Command Prompt in Windows NT.
