Clock Functions
Emphasis has an astronomical time clock that can be used along with real time programs
(see Real Time Programs, page 192) to run lighting cues at specific times of day, or at an
offset from sunrise or sunset. For information on setting the clock functions, see Setting the
time and location, page 192.
If you need to set the time and date for your entire system, you will need to change the clock
settings on your Emphasis Server.
CAUTION:
Due to an ETCNet2 issue, Windows Date andTime, and Time Zone settings can
lose synchronization across mutiple servers sharing an ETCNet2 network. To
avoid this in a Backup System. set all servers to the Central US (GMT -6:00) Time
Zone (see Clock Functions, page 56). You may set the actual time and date
regularly. This solution may slightly affect Astronomical Time Clock functionality.
Set the time and date on the Emphasis Server:
Step 1: Turn on your Emphasis Control System. Allow it to finish its startup before
proceeding to the next step.
Step 2: Exit Emphasis Visualization. When complete, the login screen will be displayed.
Step 3: Login as the System Manager.
Step 4: Right-click the clock at the right end of the Windows task bar and click Adjust
Time/Date.
Step 5: Set the date, time and time zone and click OK.
Step 6: Click the Start menu in the Windows task bar and click Log Off. In the
confirmation dialog, click Log Off.
Step 7: Login as the Emphasis user.
