values read from the computer internal clock.
4. Click the Down Arrow button on the right of Calendar, then a calendar is displayed where you can change the year,

Another way of setting the calendar/clock data is to store the values in special data registers dedicated to the calendar and
clock and to turn on special internal relay M8016, M8017, or M8020. Data registers D8015 through D8021 do not hold the
current values of the calendar/clock data but hold unknown values before executing a user program.
