B2.3 Settings of the clock
The CAM mobile has an internal clock, which is used as
a time reference for alarms, events, progression of
measurements and so on. Due to the daylight saving
time used in many regions the time must to be set
forward once a year and backward once a year as well.
Especially when setting back the time information gets
lost, because data for this time is acquired twice but can
be stored only once. To handle this problem the CAM mobile uses internally
UTC time only (see below). The user can set a time
offset, which performs a static time shift to the local time.
This way time references shown on the display are
correct. In countries where a change to daylight saving
time is performed, the offset of normally one hour has to
be adjusted at the beginning and at the end of the
daylight saving time.

A modification of the UTC time has a serious impact
on logger and lists. If e.g. the time is shifted into the
past, no entry can be made into the logger or lists
until the UTC time is at least equal to the one used
for the last entry. Only this way the consistency of the
already recorded data can be guaranteed. The only
alternative is the complete reset of all logger and list
data. Therefore the following warning is displayed
before the clock data:
However, a modification of the local time offset is
harmless.

There is no need for a special modification mode. The
flashing value can be modified directly using the keys

menu settings.
UTC (Universal Time Coordinated)
Sometimes UTC is called world time as well. The
reference corresponds to the Greenwich Mean Time
(GMT). The time zones of the world nowadays are all
referenced with an offset to UTC. UTC time doesn't
use time shifts, which may occur due to a change to
daylight saving time. Example: In Switzerland the CET (Central European
Time) is valid, which has an offset of +1[h] to UTC. But
during have of the year the CEST (Central European
Summer Time) is used, which has an offset of +2[h] to
the UTC time used in the SINEAX CAM.
