SETTING THE REAL TIME CLOCK
The PSHD meter includes a Real Time Clock (RTC). The clock is used only to time stamp Interval Data in
the log; it is not used for calculation within the meter. For users of the Interval Data Recording (IDR)
function of the meter, it is helpful (but not strictly necessary) to set the real time clock so that data
records can be uniquely identified. The time can be set using ViewPoint HD, under the Advanced Tab, by
clicking on the clock icon in the bottom right corner of the clock/calendar area.
The clock icon launches the Calendar window and allows the user to set any desired date and time. “Set
Time to Now” populates the sets the time and date to match the PC. Press the “OK” button to commit
this time to the RTC chip onboard the meter.
Real Time Clock Power Source
The RTC integrated circuit is a standalone low power circuit within the PSHD meter. Time is kept in the
absence of a connected external power source (AC or USB power) by a super capacitor. The capacitor
can keep the RTC running over normal power outages (days to weeks) but is not expected to keep time
while the meter is being stored or shipped.
Users desiring to use the Interval Data Recording capability of the PSHD meter will want to
have a procedure that ensures the Real Time Clock is set as part of the commissioning process.
