THE CLOCK SET MENU

The Clock Set menu allows you to set the time and date. The meter uses its internal clock/calendar to
record the real-time when certain data and diagnostic events occur. In addition, the clock/calendar
provides the Datalogger and Stripchart date and time stamps.

Notice:
All flowmeters include a real-time clock to provide a convenient date/time stamp for display screens and datalogger
reports. The operating system does not rely on the date and time-of-day for any flowmeter operation. Therefore,
the "Turn Of The Century" will have no effect on the proper functioning of any of our systems. Although we limit the
year to 2 digits in all our displays,1010 datalogger reports are Y2K complaint using an industry standard algo-
rithm to form a 4 digit year field.
