RTC_READ reads the RTC preset and RTC information.
RTC_READ operation
When used with a Micro810 or Micro820 controller with embedded RTC:
• RTCBatLow is always set to zero (0).
• RTCEnabled is always set to one (1).
When the embedded RTC has lost its charge/memory due to loss of power:
• RTCData is set to 2000/1/1/0/0/0.
• RTCEnabled is set to one (1).
