You can access and change the time and date directly from the weigh
mode by selecting parameter 11. If P502 is set for "Enbld" (changeable),
then you will be allowed to change the time when you select parameter 11.
This allows end users to adjust the time without having to know the setup
access code for the controller. If Parameter P502 is set for "Disbl", then
the time/date can only be changed by accessing the setup mode at P500
and P501.

Format code combinations are included in the time/date format selections
for transmitting the T/D parameter from a custom transmit table or a
macro. These format codes allow a time/date type variable (current time,
or variables defined as U-INTs) to be transmitted as a numeric value in
terms of the number of seconds elapsed since Jan 1, 1970. This is useful
in uploading time/date information to a computer for spreadsheet
applications. Refer to Chapter 8, Communications for more information on
time/date transmitting (multiple formats).

display will appear as 07.16.96 03:27:23pm.
Refer to the P500 setup parameters to enter the time and date or to
change the format of the time and date. To include the current time and /
or date into the data transmissions to a printer or other peripheral, refer to
the Custom Transmit (Selections) Parameter Setup section Chapter 8,
Communications, Chapter 9, Macros, and Chapter 10, Setpoints for
examples on setting up alarm routines (alarm routines configured using
macros and setpoints).
