Question:
How can I set up Elipse SCADA to use the computer’s time?
Solution:
The internal time in Elipse SCADA is not set up automatically. To make sure this happens, there are two possibilities:
- Add HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Elipse Software\Elipse32\Options\DisableInternalClock key with value 1 to Windows Registry; or
- Start Elipse SCADA via command line with -disableInternalClock.
If neither method is employed, the system will increment/decrement its internal time with a maximum of 20% rate (2 seconds more/less every 10 seconds) until it reaches system time.
NOTE: To change the key (-disableInternalClock), you must either close or restart Elipse SCADA.
