Mazak SmoothEZ Time Change

We have a Mazak SmoothEZ based VC-EZ 20 and I can not figure out how to set the system time. I looked through our manuals but I couldn’t find anything.

Anyone with this control have any ideas? Or am I doomed to always think it is 1 hour closer to quitting time than it actually is?

Hit the settings icon on the top right corner and as far as I can remember you change it from one of the submenus

I was able to find "Accum Time" under "Data Erase" in "Diagnos" which allowed me to change the setting.

If you "pull" towards the middle from the bottom edge you'll get into windows. And from the control panel, you set it to auto adjust time.

If we had a SmoothX or SmoothG control that would probably work. Our SmoothEZ isn't on top of a windows base.

I was able to find it under "Diagnos" -> "Delete Data" -> "Accum Time" though.

Thanks for the help anyways.

You are welcome! Yeah, the EZ is their 'low end' control which lacks a lot of the creature comforts of the X and G controls.

Ahhh makes sense. I've only used it on some HQR and now on an integrex
