Instructions: (Read Carefully)
Put "AecClock.exe" into (create new directory) a directory
on your hard drive (c:\aectime). It has been determined
that this service will NOT run if the location that it
is saved at (ie: the directory) is visible on the network
to other computers (ie: shared drive/directory). Put the
program in a non-shared directory that has a short
(8 char or less) file path.
The FIRST time that you run this program, it will bring
up a GUI for you to select your operational parameters.
(After you SAVE your settings and exit the program, the
GUI will NOT run again unless you do this: Select
"Start"...Run... then select the 'AecClock.exe' file
so that the command line in the RUN option is
"c:\aectime\AecClock.exe -setup" (ie: run the program
with the "-setup" argument) Click on the help/info button
for more info, and please call/email AEC support if you have
any questions. Be sure to select "USB" as approapriate
for your time code reader source. You will probably
also want to select "LOCAL" and 0 for hour, minute,
seconds and milliseconds. The other "slop" and "interval" don't
make much difference, but I suggest "5 Sec" and "100 mSec" for
interval and slop respectively. Read the 'info/help' when the
program runs for additional help and hints. The time offset
can be set to just about any time from 00:00:00:000 to 23:59:59:999
(hour:min:sec:milliseconds) to compensate for time zone offsets
or other latency in the time code signal versus the 'time' of
the PC.
***NOTE that if the time code time is NOT the same as
your 'local' time then you will want to either select
"SYSTEM" (if TC is same a GMT) or make some adjustments
to the time 'Offsets' as needed.
Keep in mind that once the service is LOADED (setting saved
to the registry) it will NOT start until the next reboot
OR until started manually via the "service control panel"
( control panel / admin tools / services ).
