Simulator: RTC (Real Time Clock)

The "Real Time Clock" window simulates the on-board clock of the RTCU platform.

In this window, the time that the application should see can be set. For example, if the application is scheduled to do some action at a specified time in the future, the clock can be set to a convenient time for the simulation, e.g. a minute before the time occurs.

By using the slider for the "Clock speedup factor", it is possible to let the clock run at a faster speed. This can be very useful if an application uses the built-in clock to determine when a certain action should occur or when a value should be logged in the Datalogger etc..

The speedup factor is only an approximate value and not 100% precise. The range of it is 1 to 120 with 1 being normal speed.

The speedup factor only affects the absolute time of the device, it does not affect other functions such as boardTimeSinceReset or Sleep.
