Sedtime program Q&A
--------------------

 Q] Downloaded the SEDTIME.zip---How and when is this
    used ? Don't understand that one at all !

 A] 'Sedtime.exe' is a program to calculate the 'RESET TIME'
    in SEDSAT(SO-33).  The program to receive the telemetry
    from SEDSAT is available as 'Sgs20.exe' on

         http://uah.seds.org/projects/sedsat/
         http://www.ne.jp/asahi/hamradio/je9pel/sgs20.zip

    Downlink   	437.910 MHz, 9600 baud FSK, mode KISS

    The output format of this 'Sgs20.exe' is the followings.


    ...............................................................................................
    | Mon, Day, Year, Hour, Min, Sec, Main Voltage, ......, UpDays, UpHours, UpMinutes, UpSeconds |
    |   2,   2, 2000,    8,  37,  12,        21142, ......,    001,      00,        35:        00 |
    .......................................................... ....................................


    It mean the received current date is 08:37:12UTC, 2 Feb 2000,
    and 'Uptime' is 1_day and 0_hour 35_min. 0_secs.

    Then you use 'Sedtime.exe' to calculate the 'RESET TIME'.


         ...................................................
         Input data:

                               Day   Hour   Minu.   Sec.
               Current Time      2      8     37     12
               Up Time           1      0     35      0


         Press OK_button,
         then Output data is calculated automatically below:


                               Day   Hour   Minu.   Sec.
               Reset Time:       1      8      2     12
         ...................................................


    Then We will know 'RESET TIME' is 08:02:12UTC, 1 Feb 2000.
    And we will not have to worry about the 24 hour conversion
    factors in this way.
