discover Posted July 22, 2023 Report Share Posted July 22, 2023 How to set date and time with FLX S? I have just (22.07.2023) saved a show to the USB stick and file date is: 09.03.2018 - that is irritating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davidmk Posted July 22, 2023 Report Share Posted July 22, 2023 (edited) The manual doesn't actually mention date & time adjustment but if you go to setup ->settings I think you should be able to correct the system date and time. My first thought was that you need to replace the battery but the thread FLX48S Battery has a post from @Edward Z88 explicitly stating that FLX S does NOT have a battery so it isn't that Edited July 22, 2023 by Davidmk Originally incorrect about batteries.

But it’s automatically hidden if you’re filtering by a “FLX S” variant: https://www.zero88.com/manuals/zeros/setup/settings “All ZerOS consoles except FLX S have an internal clock. Press the Date & Time button on the monitor to open the Set Date and Time window. Enter the correct time, day, month and year in the fields provided and then confirm by selecting the OK button. This setting is especially important when using Real Time cue triggers.” Quote Jon Hole Global Product Manager, Systems and Control Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So does that mean FLX S users need to set date and time whenever the desk is turned on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kgallen Posted July 23, 2023 Report Share Posted July 23, 2023 (Off topic - please branch) 17 hours ago, Jon Hole said: The filtering remains when using the search. I'm not sure that's my experience, and it's annoying - I want to find something on FLX and I get pages of answers for Solution. Search is still largely unusable. For example, given a word like "Remove" it should prioritise returning results for the command rather than giving back 10 pages of stuff that has "remove" (not the command) in the text.

To be clear, FLX S consoles do not have an internal date/time clock. Therefore files saved from FLX S will appear to have erroneous dates/times when viewed in Windows File Explorer for example. If you would like to keep track of when your show file was saved, you can of course add the current date/time to the end of the file name.

FLX consoles do have an internal battery. FLX S consoles have a different processor to FLX consoles. Hope this helps.
