I remember some time ago that one of the list members said their
company makes LCD monitor mounting arms. I'm just trying to reach that
person as I need to get in contact with a company about some custom
LCD arms we need. I figure the list members might as well try and
support each other.

Thanks
Brian

Were in the process of testing this, but the shop employees are telling us
that some data collection stations have the wrong time. We have been using
Vantage since version 2.40 and back then the time for data collection was
taken from the client workstation, but with version 3.0 the time was sent
from the server.

Were currently on version 6.10.512. I was wondering if anyone had noticed
any problems with the time for data collection being different from computer
to computer.

Any insight would be helpful

Paul,

The time is taken from the Server.
A slow computers or network connections can allow an outdated time to show
(typically not much).
The thing I would be suspicious about is that the workstation clock is not
right and they are comparing against that.
Either way, when they login, it updates and uses the latest time from the
server as the time.
You will want the server to keep itself updated using the information from
the thread yesterday. If not, the adjustment of the servers time will
affect punchin and out and irritate the masses.
Good luck,

Aaron Hoyt

I've noticed significant differences it times between data collection in the
past, and have basically solved it by using the "net time" command in the
log on script for the work stations.

I'm using Vantage 5.2 on W98, and W2000 Pro workstations, and W2000 Server.

The command line in the script is: net time \\(servername) /set

I will routinely in my travels through the plant log off the network, and
log back on each data collection terminal about twice a week. The log on
runs the script, which maps the drives, sets the time from the server clock,
and restarts data collection.

Thanks for the responses to my question. I have discovered some people were
looking at the time on the client computer. Some are old PIII and Celeron
systems and the clocks are way off. I did find an old document from Epicor
that suggested restarting the data collection application after changing the
time on the server to make sure the time is correct in data collection.
That confused me a bit....???
