Real Time Clock PV450 data logger setup

Post by Electrofit-Zapi » Tue Feb 21, 2017 7:36 am

Hello,
I am currently using the PV450 display as a data logger but would like to set the Real time clock for a time stamp. What is the easiest way to do this? I am currently using power vision config tool 2.7.10475.
Do i need to clock setup a page within my config to adjust time/date parameters? Is there a standard page with this functionality i could copy and paste into my config?
Or is there a way to setup the time date in a murphy standard config then reflash my config and the time and date would still be correct?

Thanks for any help in advance?
Regards
Dave

The Real Time Clock will persist between firmware and configuration loads. I used the Murphy Standard PV450 configuration to set the date and time and then loaded another version and the time was still accurate.
The Murphy Standard PV450 configuration has a setup screen for the time and date that could be copied to another configuration. It would take some work. The screens are in the Menu Layer on User Settings and several Page Views, RTC-Month, RTC-Day, RTC-Year, RTC-Time and RTC-12or24. The Programming items are in Custom - User Settings group.
I would opt for the 2 loads. Set the time with the Murphy Standard and then load the logging configuration.
