# Options – Date Time Settings

The Date Time Settings allow you to configure how the date/time settings are updated on the vision system.

The vision system can have its date/time settings reset after a power outage if no SNTP settings are configured with the Time Settings utility of In-Sight Vision Suite.

The Date Time Settings of the Options window provide a solution for such scenarios: when enabled, then each time you connect to the vision system with the plugin, it updates the date/time settings of the vision system with the date/time settings of the operating system running the plugin.

The setting has three values:

- Automatically: Updates the vision system date/time settings with the operating system's date/time settings each time you connect to the device.

- Prompt me every time: Prompts the user to allow or deny updating the vision system date/time settings upon connecting to the device, if necessary.
- Disabled: Turns off both the user prompts and the automatic date/time setting updates. This is the default setting.

Note:

If the SNTP service is enabled, the software overrides the settings of Automatically and Prompt me every time with the time settings of the enabled SNTP service. You can prevent the software using the time settings of the SNTP if you disable the SNTP Service.

To disable the SNTP service:

1. Click on Time Settings under Utilities on the main window of In-Sight Vision Suite;

2. Set the SNTP Service to None.
