GRLevelX Q's?

[Michael Carlson]

I am having problems with my GRLevel3. I cant open the application because it says I need to adjust my system clock. Does anyone know how to do that?

 

[David Drummond]

If your in windows, double click on the clock down on the task bar. A window will open up that you can change the time

 

[Dick McGowan]

In addition to what David said, set it with "internet" time also, that's the problem.

 

[Patrick Marsh]

Go over to the GRLevelX Owner forum and do a search for "Time Application". Mike wrote an app the will download the correct time and sync your computer to it. It's a free download.

Are you kidding me? We really need a special program to do what you can do in 3 clicks with a mouse? Not to knock Mike, but seriously, it would take more effort to go and download the program than to just change it yourself.

I have been trying to sync the internet time but for some reason I get an error message saying "An error accord when getting the status of the last synchronization. The RPC server is unavailable." I will try locating this RPC server and get it working or I am going to have to download that software.

I know this is stating the obvious, but are you connected to the internet when you do it? Do you have a firewall on blocking it? Have you tried both time servers? In WinXP it gives you the option of the Windows server or the GOV server.

Need? No. You can change the clock however you want.

But for those on operating systems that DON'T automatically set the time, he wrote this so you don't have to install any freeware apps. You just run this at boot if needed and all it does is set the time and exit.

I'm not sure what operating systems don't have this feature; windows does, Linux does and I wouldn't be surprised if MacOS does as well. Unless you just can't get the default feature to work I think the point is why download redundant software?

It (grtime.exe) is a simple app that shows the nist.gov time, your computer's time, and the delta. I've found having the delta is handy when helping users debug computer time problems, which are typically related to time zone/daylight settings. You would be surprised at all the screwy time problems out there, especially with all the daylight changes this year.

Anyway, it's just a little utility app that people can use or ignore.

I have another problem with GRlevel3

I can't get it to display any warnings. I have had them in the past.
I have tried using the allenhouse and COD warning servers. no luck.

Be sure they're entered correctly, check your time, check your firewalls.
