Behavior in correcting time
• When adjusting the clock forward
DL8 continues storing data.
• When adjusting the clock backward for 10 sec. or more
DL8 creates a new file to store data again.
• When adjusting the clock backward within 10 sec.
DL8 waits until the clock reaches the time when the latest data was stored and
starts storing data.
