| The only trouble I have with my 500+ is that the date/time of the unit shifts significantly after, say, a week or so. Will be very helpful if it can synchronize its clock with a network time server. It¡¦s not connected to PC, have to set the clock manual from time to time, and the log timestamp interval will be shortened or lengthened at the re-synchronization. |

| @sebastian, we are working on making the clock stable and your suggestion is actually really good. I will pass it to our team. |

Same with my 600+ the clock is horrible at keeping correct time. I hope a fix such as you suggested is soon to be released in the next firmware update if it can.
Otherwise I love GeigerLog since it has a feature to sync the GMC Geiger counter clock to the PC time while using the program, a must when working with the data, which GeigerLog excels at hands down.

| Since the clock-issue seems to be a problem for all GMC, i'd suggest to simply add a little RealTime-Clock to the board. would be a lesser drain on the battery than a wlan-connection and an NTP-sync which, due to the current lack of an RTC will go out of sync in no time (pun intented)... |

only my idea here, sure it will also have Pro and Cons.
some weeks ago, on stackoverflow, i read about:
"Right way to get Web Server time and display it on Web Pages"
also with some code-sniplets...
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20269657/right-way-to-get-web-server-time-and-display-it-on-web-pages
maybe thats a more easy way to catch the timestring
from webserver after update the counting data to www.gmcmap.com,
and set the local clock.
This not need to implement NTP for timesync, which i think that is much more complex.
It would be usefull for standalone counters with WIFI-connection.
Cons could be its more traffic/ consuming more CPU but maybe an interval after every 10th counting-update would be right in comfort.
What do you think about this?
kind regards, 3z_phoenix
