ZL6 Basic Clock Sync
The ZL6 Basic requires a time sync to accurately save a time and
date stamp with each sensor measurement record. This time
sync happens when the logger connects to ZENTRA Utility or
ZENTRA Utility Mobile.
The time must be reset any time the logger loses power (when
batteries are removed or replaced).
