APPENDIX • CLICK 500 DEVELOPER GUIDE

ClickUtilGetTimeStamp

Reads the SEC_TIMER and MS_TIMER to create a size-byte timestamp. The first four bytes

of the time stamp are the number of seconds since the start of January 1, 1980. The last

two bytes form a 16-bit value that represent the number of milliseconds within the current

second.

If the sensor RTC is updated using the function write_rtc, then SEC_TIMER, MS_TIMER,

and the value returned by read_rtc will no longer be in sync, until the Click 500 is restarted.
