FP-2000 clock is 15 minutes slow per day

My FP-2000 system clock is about 15 minutes slow per day. How come?
Is it possible to adjust it?
Because it is running stand-alone it cannot be adjusted remotely. It is only connected to a PC every once in a while.
Regards,
Gerwim

Hello Gerwim,
The clock on the FP-2000 has normaly an accuracy of about +/- 1min/Month. However the process on the controller that is running the clock is a low priority process. When you controller has higher priority tasks to perform, which take a lot of processing power, it can happen that the clock will get behind more then usual. When a host computer is connected to the system the controller will check with the host computer (its time server) if the clock is running correctly and adjust it when needed. At Stand-Alone Base this timeserver is not available.
There is a VI under: Real-Time>>RT Utilities which is called RT Set Date and Time which can be used to set the date and time on the controller. The problem is however that you would need a reference to set your clock to. If the amount of time the clock runs behind every day is pretty consistend maybe you can use this VI to adjust the clock with a certain amount of minutes every now and then. Ofcourse you still will not have a very accurate clock setting but still more accurate as it was. The only other option you would have is a permanent time-server connected to the FP controller.
Hope this helps,

Clock running 10 minutes slow

I have an iMac, 2.4GHz, Intel Core 2 Duo running 10.5.8. (iMac7,1 id number).
I'm told this is related to the CMOS Battery and that I can't change it myself.
I've tried all the other options: resetting and setting the time to do the automatic time checking function in preferences.
Now what?

BrunoDB wrotes:
I recently bought a new Lumia 620. Soon I noticed that the clock is to slow. Every day the clock is running 10 to15 minutes behind. After a few days the phone is running for more than an hour behind. I have installed the latest available update.
Does anyone have a solution?
Can you check if the auto time update is turned on by going to Settings > Date+time? If the answer is yes then try to turn it off and set the clock to manual. You can also check if your phone is set to the correct time zone.

I have the same problem. Its clock slow down at least 15 mins per day. I tried setting the clock in auto or manual mode but both didn't help. Anyone has solution?
Do you have the latest software installed on the phone? Check your phone updates by going to Settings > Phone updates. If your phone is alreay up to date, performing a reset might be of help. However, this will delete all your data so backup is required. See this link for more info about backing up your files. To perform a reset go to Settings > About > Reset your phone.

Clock running 12 minutes slow

I have an iMac, 2.4GHz, Intel Core 2 Duo running 10.5.8. (iMac7,1 id number).
I'm told this is related to the CMOS Battery and that I can't change it myself.
I've tried all the other options: resetting and setting the time to do the automatic time checking function in preferences. It just keeps getting slower and slower.
Do I have to take the entire machine into the Apple store's "Genius" division for repair.

Again, like I said, it could have been an anomoly in the local tower and when it was time to update the time and the phone pinged the tower, it got the wrong time. I have one of those "atomic clocks" that gets it time from the National Bureau of Standards, and sometimes it can be off, but usually it is an odd number of mintues, or dates are off. I will just usually set the time manually and the next automatic setting gets it right.

2nd Gen iPod touch clock loses eight minutes

I set the time on my touch to the correct time. It stays correct for a while, but sometime over the next day, I discover that the clock is eight minutes slow. Clearly not a time zone or syncing thing (my MBP's clock is accurate). What else could it be? Any ideas?

I don't know what is causing it but I would restart it (hold the Sleep/Wake button down until you see the slider switch and turn it off) or reset it (hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons down together until you see the Apple logo).
Either one of those activities will most likely fix it. However, if they do not, plug it in to iTunes and restore it.

Clock runs 6 minutes behind after 4.3 download

I have a lot of the same issues that everyone has with their G3 since 4.3; poor battery life, iffy WiFi connection, and flaky connection with the Bluetooth in my Prius - There is another issue with my G3 that since the 4.3 download that I have not seen anyone make reference to.
The day after I did the 4.3 download, I happened to notice that the clock on the phone was 6 minutes behind the clock in my bedroom. I figured that the alarm clock was fast, but when I checked the phone against my atomic clock, I realized that the Network time on my phone was indeed 6 minutes behind.
Thinking that the automatic time had somehow been disabled with the update, I went to Settings > Date and time > Automatic date and time / Use network-provided time, and found the that the box was checked; so I unchecked and rechecked; no change. Then I unchecked and manually set the correct time; but when I re-checked the box; it instantly went back to being 6 minutes behind.
Rebooting did correct the time, until a few days later when it happened again. This has happened to me several times since, and it is always 6 minutes slow; never 5 minutes, never 7 minutes....
Has anyone else had issues with their clock after downloading 4.3?

The time on my iphone is not being updated automatically, although it is set that way, why is the time 10 minutes slow

The time on my iphone is not being updated automatically, althought it is set that way. Why does it not update the time and why is it 10 minutes slow?

Thank you for your reply. I realy have nothing else to sync - no music. Emails do work so its just my contacts I am concerned about. I'm kinda new at this but have a working understanding of the system.
I have an icloud account but the Geek Squad went there and tried but could not export contacts. I truly am not that good re icloud. They worked exclusively with my itunes, re-downloading, etc - all of the stuff in their book.
I have not tried a complete restore because I am not sure I am that good with the equipment but could. I did all of the stuff on the help page - sync reset, forced one-way sync etc but the phone just does not seem to recognize the sync. I have not gone to an Apple store to have them have a look - that may be my next step to hook up to another itunes computer. It seems simple to me - it was working fine until maybe 3 months ago - probably when there was an update. Its telling to me that the phone does not tell me there is a sync in process while itunes is saying there is - its just not biting between the 2.
I appreciate any hep - and I said, I not stupidi about these things but have kind of reached as far as I am comfortable with fear of doing something really wrong.

HomeFusion disconnecting 5+ times per day, out 5-10 minutes each time

HomeFusion is disconnecting 5+ times per day, out 5-10 minutes each time.
When it is up, it is fabulous. Signal quality is always great.
Main router page says just Connecting... when this happens.
Any one know why? Thanks.

Hi Jennifer @ Verizon
A simple reboot of the router and cantenna is not going to permanently fix this issue. Its been going on at least since August 2012. The issue is a bad software on the cantenna and its affecting areas such as KY, GA, TN, and OH. I have emailed the manufacturer of the cantenna, I think its PCI and they emailed me telling me that its a known issue but no idea when it will be fixed. It could be a few week or a few months or possibly at least a year.
I think what Verizon should do is refund the money including installation and any fees paid for the service to all affected customers and take down the service until fixed or find a new manufacturer for the Cantenna or work with the engineers with PCI to come up with firmware fix asap. This issue is obviously affecting enough customers where telling your customers to wait is not going to work anymore. I don't mind waiting if I know that a fix is definitely coming and an actual date. Its very frustrating to have a company not support their customers in coming up with a fix on this asap such as a solution within the next 2 weeks. I was in the middle of taking another exam and got an F on it because your service disconnected me.
I think I might join the bandwagon and if this issue is not fixed by the end of January 2013 I'll be calling for a full refund. I am not confident that a permanently fix will be generated by Jan 2013 which is sad. Is anyone else with me - I mean what is it going to take for Verizon to come up with a solution on this permanently. The sad part of all of this is Verion tells me its an issue with a firmware on the cantenna and the manufacturer of the cantenna tells me to be patient and wait for a fix and when I pressed the issue some more, the manufacturer of the cantenna tells me Verizon has to approve the fix but Verizon says they are waiting for a fix from the manufacturer. So, I am not sure what it is.

Why is time on my iPhone aprox. 2 minutes slow?

The time on my iPhone 4 is 2 minutes slow. Why is that?

Slow according to what source? Your phone gets its time from the cellular network if you have it set to do so. Settings>General>Date & Time>Set Automatically.

Well, does anybody knows how to go back and get rid of ios6? I'm greatfull grapefruit.

IMac goes to sleep/hibernate multiple times per day after installing Maverick OS. I have to shutdown and power back on.

iMac goes to sleep/hibernate multiple times per day after installing Maverick OS. Moving the mouse or hitting the spcaebar will not wake the pc.
I have to shutdown and power back on. My iMac was purchased in January 2011 and no longer in warrenty. The energy saver 'sleep' and 'display' settings are set at 10 minutes. When I changed to 'never' the machine got very hot and I changed the settings back. I have checks by: Put hard disk to sleep when possible and wake for network access. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

How many mails i can send at a time per day using APEX mail system?

HI,
I am working on application, when i have written a process to send mail, i have a project where i have to send mail at a time for all the email id's
given list there are upto 5000 email id's where text body also include certain set of data from a report. thinking at a time 3000 its difficult i divided
it region wise, but still each region have 2000 odd email id's. during testing when i run the process just 950 mails i could send then i got a error
saying "ORA-20001: You have exceeded the maximum number of email messages per workspace. Please contact your administrator." so please
can any one help me to know How many mails i can send at a time per day using APEX mail system?
Thanks in advance
Gowthami

Hi jfosteroracle,
You are getting the error may be the following reason,
Check the following,
Login as ADMIN and Goto -->Manage Instance-->Instance Settings--> Mail-->Maximum Emails per workspace
Actually this number denotes the Number of mails can be sent per 24 hour for the workspace,It may exceeded.
It may be the reason.
Thank you.

Home Fusion disconnecting dozens of times per day. Is there a fix?

As of a approximately a month ago, my Home Fusion systems disconnects dozens of times per day. I'm not exaggerating! I have logs to prove it. There's a 50-50 chance it will reconnect on it's own after a few minutes. Then again there's also a 50-50 chance it will not reconnect, at which point I have to (pick one):
     a) reboot the cantenna from the router pages;
     b) unplug the cantenna and plug it back in;
     c) unplug the cantenna and the router, wait 30 seconds, plug in the cantenna, wait 30 seconds, plug in the router. (This was recommended by tech support on the phone as the best way to get back the connection);
      d) reset the cantenna to the factory settings;
     e) reset the router to the factory settings.
None of these makes any difference. I have to do one of the above at least 12 times a day. There are many more times when it disconnects, then reconnects on it's own. The system will usually reconnect after 5 minutes, sometimes not. I've had multiple phone calls to tech support, only to hear the same thing, do one of the above. A few times a day the system will reconnect after doing one of the above, only to disconnect again after 3-5 minutes. It is bad all hours of the day, but worst in the late afternoons, evenings, and night.   This is absolutely horrid.
It's not my computers either. The 'diagnostics' for the router and cantenna (which allow you to ping addresses) fail as well when the system isn't working.
My wife and I both work from home, both engineers. I need a stable connection to work. My kids have online homework (worksheets, drills, etc) most nights. How do you deal with a elementary schooler in tears because he can't finish his homework because the connection goes down three times in a half hour while he's trying to get a target math drill score?
One support tech told me a fix would be coming out by the end of February, or early March. That's weeks away! Very stressful. Another told me there was a firmware fix, but it's being rolled out incrementally. Can't Verizon get that to those who are affected most? Can we roll back to an earlier version of the cantenna firmware that was stable? I was told no.

I have the same problem. My Home Fusion set up works great sometimes and then other times, nothing. I can usually reboot the cantenna and router (usually have to do a few times) to get everything working. Usually have to do this 2-3 times a week (sometimes more.)
My Method:
1. Sign into router (192.168.1.1)
2. Go to the Advanced tab
3. Reboot the cantenna (HBA)
4. Wait 1 minute
5. Reboot the router (HBR)
6. Take a walk, fingers crossed
7. Test to see if system working
8. If not working, repeat these steps (may take 3-4 tries!)
Good luck and let me know if this works for you!

MSN's latest update is crashing Firefox many times per day. When I try to send the crash report to Firefox, it says it has trouble sending the report. Is anyone else having this problem? Is there a setting that can help?

Firefox is crashing every time I have my MSN email account up. (Since I use it for business, that's many times per day.) It seems to coincide with hotmail's latest update where the email is checked and downloaded to the inbox automatically. Then when it asks me if I want to send the crash report to Firefox, I select yes and it tells me it had trouble sending the report. Is anyone else having this problem? Is there a setting I can change? I can't seem to keep my email account up for more than 10 minutes.
p.s if you're reading this Microsoft, it's still not bad enough to make me to go back to Internet Explorer!

In Lookout, how can I make the equivalent of a "4 changes per day" set-back thermostat?

Ok... I need some help here....
I have a Pot_TSP (Temperature setpoint) that uses a PLC register as its remote source. I added a night-time temperature setback feature by adding a "DAYTIME" expression as a permissive, and tying two new Pots (Pot_SP1 and Pot_SP2) to Pot_TSP's "reset value" : NIF(Expression_Daytime, Pot_SP1, Pot_SP2).
Client now wants this increased to 4 optional temp changes per day, just like a household 7-day programmable T-stat. Adding the additional conditions to the "reset" parameter was easy; one extra TimeOfDay timer for each temperature Setpoint change, arranged as "OR" functions. Each time the clock hits one of these TOD targets, Pot_TSP gets "reset" and the "reset value" gets written to it. Here's where I start to bog down... How do you arrange this so that when one of the 4 TOD targets goes "true", its corresponding SP value gets written to Pot_TSP? The closest I've been able to get is this: make a new Pot (Pot_X) with a min of 1 and a max of 4 and use a NCHOOSE to select which of the 4 Temp setpoint Pots Pot_X will use as the (next) SP. If I rotate Pot_X and the clock hits a TOD target, a value corresponding to the selected Pot gets written to Pot_TSP.
So can someone please tell me how to get Pot_X to align itself with the TOD events? I can get a limping model if I slave the NCHOOSE function to a Counter object, but if the customer has Lookout turned off or disconnected long enough to miss one of the events, Pot_X will go out of sync. Same goes for incrementing the Pot object. Can't allow that...
Since the clock never stops and only hits each TOD once every 24 hours, there would never be more than one of the 4 TOD conditions true at one time... is there a way to build an expression object (or the like) to ultimately produce a numeric (the Pot_TSP value) using the following logic: If TOD1 is true, return Pot_SP_1; If TOD2 is true, return Pot_SP_2, If TOD3 is true, return Pot_SP_3; If TOD4 is true, return Pot_SP_4 ????
Thanks guys.

Hi Ryan
Thanks again for your input! I'm more comfortable with the DataTable object (now that it's become more familiar), and thanks to you I now have a DataTable constructed for one zone (7 rows for the days-of-the-week, and 16 columns for the variables). Displaying of the cell data, cursor navigation, and reading/writing to the Pots' remote position source (in other words the actual GUI) work just fine. In order to expedite completion of the project for which this DataTable is intended, I am at a point where I am prepared to clone the DataTable 3 times to get 4 zones (that's one panel), then clone that result times the number of panels the site has....but I'd like to run this by you first:
Unless it's contrary to "best practices", should I do as above, or try to further multiplex the DataTable I already have by adding to it the other three zones? The Table I have now serves one zone; can it be expanded to serve (dare I suggest it) one panel (4 zones)? If you recall, I started out thinking I'd need one dedicated Pot for each variable in each zone (16) times 7 days = 96; using the DataTable, the cursor replaced the d-o-t-w so the number of Pots needed dropped to 16. My point: if I have to make separate DataTable objects for each zone, I also need to make 48 more Pots to serve them (which I'm obviously trying to avoid). Then I have to repeat this times the number of panels on site. I'm guessing that adding 3 more zones to the existing (one zone) DataTable is no problem since there's plenty of room left...
But would you add them as columns (to keep the cursor consistent across the zones) or add them as rows (to keep the columns consistent across the zones)?
If added as columns, can I avoid making those extra 48 Pots? Can I make my existing 16 Pots read/write to multiple columns, like change the Remote Source for Pot_Temp_SP_1 from "..\DataTable.B" to something like "nchoose(Pot_Zone_Selector,..\DataTable.B,..\DataTable.R)" where columns B and R contain Temperature setpoint values for Zones 1 and 2 respectively?
If added as rows, I'm guessing I don't have to make those extra 48 Pots. But what's the best way to deal with the cursor? Should I be looking at multiple cursors (one for each zone)?
I should also point out I've been using only L3 Pots since "normal" Pots won't accept an expression as a remote position source; if I change this to regular Pots coupled with SymbolicLinks, does it change the picture at all?
...and I'm using Ver 6.0.2
Thanks,
George

HP ENVY m6 Notebook PC overheats several times per day

My laptop overheats and crashes CONSTANTLY—several times per day! I have vacuumed all of the vents in back, I took it to the Geek Squad, who sold me a chill pad that helps minimally, I have started putting ice packs on the lower left corner, I don't take it outside, anymore. There is nothing that keeps this laptop cool enough for me to use like a laptop and take it where I need it. It started doing this about 6 months ago.
It's sitting on the chill pad right now, getting hotter and hotter (everywhere to the left of the letter i). Also, the adapter gets so hot, it makes me think it might be a fire hazard. It seems to overheat slower when it runs off the battery, which seems to be the only thing that doesn't get hot.
What do I do about this? I don't want to get another laptop; this one is only a year and a half old.

It likely needs to be opened up and cleaned out around the processor/heatsink and new thermal compound applied. I am understanding that the battery does not heat up? What if you let it run down and then recharge it with the laptop on? Does the battery get hot during that process? It does not heat up as much on battery power because the processor has been "throttled back" to save battery life so that tells us the heat is likely coming from the processor. You can set the processor to run at 97 or 98% power even when plugged in and this helps a lot but should not be seen as a permanent fix. Go into power options in Control Panel and get to advanced.
Set maximum processor state plugged in to 98% and see if that does not help.
