Question

How do I set the time and date on a NEAX IPS or IVS?

Answer

The time and date can be set in two ways, via the MATWorX GUI or in MOC mode.

1. Using the MATWorX GUI

The time and date can be changed using the MATWorX GUI by selecting the System Drop down and selecting the set clock option.

You will then be presented with the time and date screen as below:

This program will change the time and date to the same setting as the time and date on the MATWorX PC if the tick boxes highlighted above are set, alternatively you can un-check the boxes and manually set the time and date in this program. To send the updated time and date to the system simply click on the Write data button highlighted above.

2. Using MOC Mode

To set the time and date via MOC mode you should use the following commands:

CM 02 > 0 : Year (e.g. 2004)

CM 02 > 1 : MMDDWW Date

Note: Month, Date and Day are set by 2 digits each in the order named. Days are set as follows:

SUN: 00 MON: 01 TUE: 02 WED: 03 THU: 04 FRI: 05 SAT: 06

CM 02 > 2 > HHMMSS Time
