SDS100/SDS200: SDS100 Time/Date Display

[emtd99]

what exact option is it that will allow me to set the time and date on my display screen? I recently hooked it up to Sentinel and now the time and date are not present.
Thank you,

In Sentinal there is a red/green icon beside the star click it you can change colors and what is listed and where on the screen

Not sure exactly how the display is laid out on the SDS100, but the method for making changes to the display will be the same as my SDS200. You could make all the changes in Sentinel, or make changes on the scanner and have Sentinel read from it. That way your profile gets updated.

You have 2 choices. First read the scanner into Sentinel.

Click the areas where the date and time were and set them again. (top)

Or if you did not have any customization you could "Reset To Initial" (bottom)

Then write to the scanner.

Yes...

Menu --> Display Options ---> Customize

Much easier to make those changes in Sentinel. If you make changes through the scanner's on-screen menu system, be sure you read from the scanner into Sentinel so that next time you write from Sentinel to the scanner for database updates etc., you won't write the older settings from Sentinel back into the scanner.

when you read from the scanner, it reads the FL too and all settings correct?

initial meaning factory or the initial software setting

Not sue. I never did it before.

initial meaning factory or the initial software setting

It resets the display to the factory default color scheme and display items. The 'copy to' button duplicates settings. So, if you set up 'simple analog' the way you like it, you click that button to apply the exact same settings to 'simple trunk'.

Clear as mud??
