UI Element | Purpose |
---|---|
Date | Displays the current HAL date. |
Time | Displays the current HAL time. |
Time Zone |
Displays the currently selected HAL Time Zone. Click the pull down arrow to select another Time Zone. Note that the geographic Time Zone & location selected automatically dictates if Daylight Savings Time is observed. Thus, you’ll find no toggle for Daylight Savings Time – the HAL knows from the geographic selection in the Time Zone field. warning! By default every HAL ships with the Time Zone selection set to Unspecified (UTC) or Coordinated Universal Time (UTC/GMT). Before deploying the HAL be sure manually to set the Time Zone of the final install location. |
Clock Adjustments |
Three settings dictate the HAL’s date & time. Select the one desired here.
note: All three options for setting the HAL clock are for date and time only. Time Zone is never automatically set. By default every HAL ships with the Time Zone set to Unspecified (UTC) or Coordinated Universal Time (UTC/GMT). Setting the HAL Time Zone is a manual adjustment that must be done on initial HAL configuration or any time HAL is installed in a new time zone. |
