The gauge does not have real time clock capability, so the time stamp
on all samples in a run is elapsed days, hours, minutes and seconds

each uploaded run start point to a real time base date and time. When
this feature is used, all uploaded elapsed time stamps in the run are
recalculated accordingly to get true time stamps of the form year,
month, day, hour, minute, second.
