Real-time clock

Keeps track of the time and date.

Description

The Real-time clock can keep track of the time and the date. The correct time and date needs to be set first with the 'Set Real-time clock block'. Once this is done the time and date can be retrieved with the 'Get Real-time clock' block. The Real-time clock will keep track of the time and date when the Vbat pin is connected to power. On the E407 a 3V battery can be connected to the 3V_BAT connecter (next to the USB connectors) to keep the clock alive. The clock will be updated every second.

Inputs and outputs

All inputs and outputs are in unsigned 8-bit integers, uint8.
The number of years is counted from 2000, so 2017 is represented by the number 17.
The time format is 24h so 11PM is represented as 23

Parameters
Sample time
Sample time of the block. The Sample time (in seconds) defines the rate at which the block is visited by the real-time scheduler of the target. The value of the Sample time has to be an integer multiple of the base sample time of the model.
