With my Gemini or Gemini C-Series (GEMC) control panel, how can I set the clock using PCD-Windows Quickloader download software?
Although most of our Gemini and Gemini C-Series (GEMC) control panels allow the clock to be set using the keypad (Dealer Keypad Program), the clock can also be set using PCD-Windows Quickloader download software. There are two ways to set the clock:
First Method: Run PCD-Windows Quickloader software, click Panel History > Status History. Click the Set Clock button to open the Com Port - Set Panel Clock screen (see image below). Select your communication type (Local, Remote, TCP/IP or GPRS/Radio) then click OK. Quickloader will synchronize the control panel time with the operating system of your PC (usually Microsoft Windows).
Second Method: Enable the PC-Windows Quickloader feature "Automatic Panel Clockset", allowing the Quickloader software to automatically synchronize the control panel time with the operating system of your PC every time Quickloader connects to the control panel. Open the main Quickloader screen (with all accounts closed), click File > Dealer Settings > Dealer Defaults tab (see image below). Check the Automatic Panel Clockset checkbox.
Note: If you plan to connect to a control panel located in a different time zone, we recommended disabling (unchecking) the Automatic Panel Clockset feature, as Quickloader will immediately set the control panel time to the incorrect time zone upon connection.
