Hi Joel,
The real time clock module allows the TS-7xxx to know the actual
time/date (give or take a few minutes) even after power has been
removed. As far as I can see most network/internet connected boards
can pull the actual time from a time server on the internet. However,
if there is no internet connection to the unit it would default to a
point in time (12:00am Jan 1st 1980 for a lot of systems) every time
it powered up.
It would definately be something I would specify on a TS-7xxx unless
I know it wouldn't be need - for example if the system performed a
fixed task and did not log error data with a timestamp.
I'm not sure what you can do if you decide you want the clock. You
probably could solder RTC onto your board, or you could buy the
PC/104 RTC used by the TS-7200.
Hope this helped.
Regards,
Peter
