TIME CONTROL - Frame

Fig. 1
The Program Time (also Simulated Time) is obtained by reading the computer clock and by adding a user specified time offset. However, the computer time is actually read only when the Run Time option in the Draw menu item is enabled. This means that the time appears frozen if the Run Time option is not active.
.
The time offset can be set by the user by means of the buttons in this Time Control frame. From left to right the buttons are:- Y+ / Y- : to increase or decrease the year offset
- M+ / M- : to increase or decrease the month offset
- D+ / D- : to increase or decrease the day offset
- H+ / H- : to increase or decrease the hour offset
- M+ / M- : to increase or decrease the minute offset
- S+ / S- : to increase or decrease the second offset
- +1/10, -1/10 : to increase or decrease the second offset by 0.1 s
- T+ / T- : to increase or decrease the time offset by one orbit period of the current Working Satellite.
- 0 : to reset the time offset.
Almost all these buttons have a Keyboard Short-Cut.Note. To make the program actually running in real time mode, press the 0 button and activate the Run Time option.
