Time sync
« on: November 03, 2022, 12:57:52 PM »
This isn't a huge deal, but I am not sure that the logger truly syncs the time with time servers as often as set. For example, I set it to check the time server (time.nist.gov) every 5 minutes for precision. It is about seven seconds off at the moment. Again, not a huge deal but for those who are super anal, it is worth noting.

May I suggest in the next firmware update adding the ability to instantly sync the time as can be done in Windows OS? Or is there the ability to do that now, but is not obvious?

Thanks. That worked! I'll keep that in mind going forward.
