Changing the System Date and Time
The time and date that SDS uses are based on the time and date of the touch screen operating system. To change the time and date, first shut down the SDS software (Figure 1 - Option to Shut Down the SDS Software (Administrator Access required)); note that this requires administrator access. Once the software is shut down, double tap on the time shown in the task bar at the bottom of the screen on the operating system desktop (Figure 2 - Date and Time Change Dialog Box). Change the date and time in the dialog box that appears.

Once you have changed the date and time, you will need to save the changes to the operating system registry. This is done using the “SaveRegs” application. In most cases, the “SaveRegs” shortcut will be installed on the operating system desktop. Double tap on the shortcut and save the registry settings. Then close the “SaveRegs” window.
NOTE: If touch screen is recording data with date and time information that is "shifted" from that displayed in the external datalogging software (e.g., readings at 9am are displayed as 11am), then the time zone and daylight savings settings on the external computer may need to be adjusted, in addition to performing the procedure above.
