In order to provide accurate data logging for the trending diagnostic, the tool
will need to provide accurate time synchronization. The MFC is capable of
running a real time clock, so only occasional synchronization is required (at
least once per power on cycle)
Note: At this time, this is not implemented on the customer tool software.
Request from the tool for some trending information
Data can be logged at regular interval and time stamped using the time
information
Data can be retrieved by the customer to provide long term trend (e.g. zero
information logged once per week)
Note: At this time, this is only supported via the diagnostic port.
