The accuracy of the time clock in the XL™ may not be as accurate as needed as it may very a
couple of seconds per day. If a GOES radio is part of the system the XL™ may be synced to the
GOES clock which normally has less drift. It is also possible to sync to a GPS system that will be
very accurate. If the time is synced to the GOES radio or to a GPS system, then the time of the
XL™ will normally be set to international standard time. Valid sync option are as follows:
Sync Disabled: This is the default selection. The data logger will not sync to any time
source. The time and date must be set manually. If the GOES radio is used
and it has GPS options, then the radio may still be syncing to the GPS
system but the logger is not.
