STIME - Set Time
Argument: Hours Mins Secs
Description:
This command sets the time inside the controller’s clock that is available in some con-
troller models. The clock circuit will then keep track of time as long as the clock remains
under power. On older controller models, the clock is a single 32-bit counter in which the
number of seconds from a preset day and time is stored (for example 02/01/00 at 3:00).
On newer model, the clock contains 6 registers for seconds, dates, minuted, hours, day-
ofmonth, month, year. The command syntax will be different for each of these models.
Syntax:
