Date & Time display

[eqcons]

In my usual blundering style, I've managed to stop the VFD displaying the date and time.

I used the Gui Client to set a new startup message.
I didn't like it, so set it as blank - then only the firmware version showed.

I set what I remembered as being the original startup message, but it comes up and stays - no sign of the date and time being displayed.

Please can you tell me how to return the display to showing the date and time, Marcus? Thanks,

Jim

No idea what you broke now ...

Me neither, Marcus! If I register the dll, and go into media centre, then come out, the time and date are displayed. They stay through the next soft reboot, but disappear, returning to the startup message that I've set, as Windows starts.

I was hoping you were going to be able to say I needed to put some special command in the startup message fields, something like "$Date;$Time" or similar and write that to the Eprom....

Cheers,

Jim

Hi there,
just wondering if you got this fixed....I have read somewhere that the VFD is meant to display the time in Standby, but mine never has, I have an ahanix case and only bought a USB adaptor as it used to have a parallel lead.

I was going to do a firmware upgrade, but it looks like I have a newer one than on the origenae site, and also, my oem adaptor may not flash correctly with that update.

If anyone could tell me how to set it up to show the time in standby, I'll gladly buy them a pint

Got it showing the time and date, but that's all. It really is a pretty useless device.
