Hi Amy
Perhaps that behavior changed at some point between software versions? I
began setting Time and Date regularly from around v1.31, around August 2015.
Since then, I have not observed VarioUltra requiring different braille
codes for the Date or Time fields. I've always used literary code. I
took my cues from:
1. The braille that already populates the field. This has always
appeared to me as literary braille unless computer braille was switched
on with the Master Switch.
2. The cursor. By default the cursor flashes when literary braille is
required and is static when computer braille is required. The cursor has
always flashed for me in the Date and Time fields.
3. No Computer Braille warning. By default VarioUltra warns if computer
braille is required. I have never seen that message appear for either
the Date or Time fields.
Anyway, Max if you are still reading, did you manage to get your time set?
Kind regards

Hi Dave,
My experience has been that date can be set irrespective of braille mode
used, but that time requires computer braille mode. Will check it out, as
perhaps this is no longer necessary.

Hi Amy and All
Thanks for all you do Amy.
Interesting Amy you have found VarioUltra to require computer braille when
setting date and time.
I often set time and date for BAUM UK customers before units are
shipped. I have never needed to use computer braille to successfully do
this.
If I go to Settings > Date and Time. The values are shown in literary
braille. I.e. numbers sign dots 3456 followed by the first ten letters
of the alphabet are used. I route the cursor immediately after each
digit I wish to change, use backspace to delete, then write the new
digits in the upper part of the braille cells. If computer braille were
a requirement for this field, then I would expect numbers to appear in
the lower part of the braille cell, as they do elsewhere such as for
file and folder names.
I can only conclude that for date and time, VarioUltra must expect
whatever braille code is shown?
Hopefully colleagues from Germany can offer some clarification?
Yours respectfully.
Kind regards
