Comments

The measurement system does not have an internal Realtime-Clock. In order to provide advanced information in the diagnostic memory, the current date & time is transferred to the measurement system while connecting.

The internal clock does not take into account leap years of leap seconds. Further it has no high accuracy. Hence it is recommended to rewrite the date/time information once a day. It can be rewritten any time.

The date & time information has no effect on measurement or sampling. It is just for the diagnostic memory.
