SETTIME (ASCII)
SF-3050

SF-3040
This command is used to set the approximate time and date in the receiver.
If the receiver already has the accurate time and date from tracking a live GNSS
signal, then this command does not take effect.
This command is typically used in conjunction with the [SET POSITION] command
to aid the receiver with startup, and is particularly useful when operating with a
GPS simulator.
The date and time entered with this command is only used during receiver startup.
It is not stored in the unit. Issuing this command with date and time information
while navigating will result in an error message.
Command:
[SETTIME] year, month, {day}, {hour}, {minute}, {second}, {offset hr}, {offset min}
