3.7.4. Real time clock (RTC)<br />
<strong>MT</strong>-<strong>021</strong> <strong>Module</strong> is equipped with astronomical time clock (RTC).<br />
The clock is a base for defining working cycles of module, timers and time stamps for<br />
measurement results recorded in registers. Imprecise clock setting results in faulty time<br />
stamping and subsequent loss of vital information. For that reason, it is recommended<br />
to set the clock to UTC time instead of the local time zone of the module's placement.<br />
CAUTION!<br />
The clock setting has to be repeated if the module was turned off<br />
for long time.<br />
Setting the time is described in configuring mode documentation for the <strong>MT</strong>Manager<br />
program. There is also a method for setting the RTC remotely using SMS configuration<br />
commands described in chapter Starting the module/Remote configuration via SMS.<br />
3.7.5. USB port<br />
<strong>MT</strong>-<strong>021</strong> module is equipped with one USB port.<br />
This port is intended for the local configuration of the module's parameters and readout<br />
event logger. The port should be connected to an external PC computer with the<br />
configuration program running (<strong>MT</strong>Manager) or software for reading event logger (<strong>MT</strong><br />
Log Reader).<br />
