WP34s 1.17 Build 874 possible SETTIM bug?
Message #1 Posted by BobVA on 17 May 2011, 10:29 p.m.

Hi: I noticed when using SETTIM that the input argument's seconds value seems to be ignored and replaced with some value between 10 and 14.

For example if I have 22.0400 on the stack, execute SETTIM then immediately press hTIME I get a value back of 22.0412 instead of an expected 22.0402 or something close to that.

Regards, Bob

Oh man, I hope that's not changing your TV channels or something :-)

I will check it. What happens, if you set the clock to something like 1.2345 ?

Edit: The seconds written to the RTC were definitely bogus. I fixed it in SVN for V.1.8. V1.17 will not be fixed.

Aren't you glad there's no KILLTIM command? ;-)

Other possibilities: PEEKTIM, POKETIM, PUTTIM, POPTIM, PUSHTIM, DIVIDETIM, ROTATETIM, FLOATTIM, MASKTIM, ABORTTIM...

Let's hope your wife doesn't execute REMOVETIM, SWAPTIM or REPLACETIM.
