time manually or get the current time and date from an external server when you turn on your 
G-1000 v2. Menu 24.10 allows you to update the time and date settings of your G-1000 v2. 
The real time is then displayed in the G-1000 v2 error logs.

Table 55   System Maintenance: Time and Date Setting

Time Protocol

Enter the time service protocol that your time server sends when you turn on 

the G-1000 v2. Not all time servers support all protocols, so you may have to 

check with your ISP/network administrator or use trial and error to find a 

protocol that works. The main differences between them are the format. 
Daytime (RFC 867) format is day/month/year/time zone of the server.
Time (RFC-868) format displays a 4-byte integer giving the total number of 

seconds since 1970/1/1 at 0:0:0. 
NTP (RFC-1305) is similar to Time (RFC-868).
None. The default, enter the time manually.

Time Server Address

Enter the IP address or domain name of your time server. Check with your ISP/

network administrator if you are unsure of this information.

New Time
