The ME442 range (Plug-In and Wire-In) has a battery backed Real-Time-Clock that once set will keep accurate time even when the battery is disconnected on the car. (You can access it from the Logging menu at the top of MEITE.) The clock data is used to time-stamp log files so its easier to locate the file of choice.


The top row states the current ECU date and time. The bottom row will automatically show the computers current time, so you can set it easily.


The CR2032 backup battery will last approximately seven years, and can be replaced if required by the manufacturer. If you note that the date/time is being lost during power cycles, please get in touch to arrange a service/replacement. Please note this service not covered under warranty.
