• SET TIME/DATE: These messages are used to set the time and date for the PQMII
software clock.
The PQMII software clock is retained for power interruptions of approximately thirty
days. A Clock Not Set alarm can be enabled so that an alarm will occur on the loss of
clock data. The time and date are used for all time-stamped data. If the clock has not
been set, a “?” will appear on the right-hand side of the displayed time for all time-
stamped data. Follow the steps shown below to set the new time and date.
FIGURE 5–1: Setting the Date and Time
