I am having trouble with the clock not updating on a CT-3000B. I thought
I could just draw a clock, and make sure that I have the clock driver in
the SIMPL code.

The last time I used the symbols; System(clock), SDPM, and Date$ to
display it on a LC-1000 in a text box. Is this complex conversion still
necessary?
Thanks, Kml

Hello Kevin,
To add a clock on a CT-3000, or any wired, or two way wireless panel.
First you use the "DRAW CLOCK" command in VTProE, and place the clock
anywhere you like on your panel. You are free to shape and design the clock
any way your client wants. Next in SIMPL Windows while you are in the
program mode,you can drag and drop the "CLOCK DRIVER" Symbol from the Symbol
library (Located in the Time/Date floder) into your Logic folder located in
the Program view. you are now done. You can now compile the program and
upload it, and you now have a working clock on your panel. Here is the
definition of the clock driver symbol:


The Clock Driver, symbol is used to access the real-time clock in the
Cresnet II control system master computer. The output signal <tod$> is a
serial data signal containing complex time and date information. It is
updated constantly as the system runs. <tod$> is typically routed to the
Calendar Scheduler symbol, or the Serialize Date symbol. <dst> is usually
set to a constant 1 or 0, and determines whether or not daylight savings
time is enabled.

However When placing a real-time clock on a touchpanel,

the Clock Driver symbol is needed in order to update the touchpanel clock.
It is not necessary to connect <tod$> to anything in this case, though it
should at least be defined.


I hope this helps, good luck.

I have done exactly this, but no update on the display. It just sits there at 00:00:00.
