	GetDate
Returns the date as a string DDMMYY
- BYTE	Unit
0=Day, 1=Weekday, 2=Month, 3=Year
- BYTE	Return

	GetTime
Returns a unit from the current time

Sets the date from numeric variables
- BYTE	day
Range: 1-31
- BYTE	weekday
Range: 0-6
- BYTE	month
Range: 1-12
- BYTE	year
Range: 0-99
- VOID	Return

	SetTime
Sets the time from numeric variables
- BYTE	Sec
Range: 0-59

	Properties
	Connections
	Channel
Channel selection
	SDA
Pin used for SDA (data signal)
	SDA Remap Pin

	SCL
Pin used for SCL (clock signal)
	SCL Remap Pin

	Stop Delay
On older microcontroller devices there is a potential for the I2C hardware channel to lock up if there is not a 10ms delay between an I2C stop event and the next I2C start event. Most modern microcontrollers will not have a problem so this property can be disabled to speed up the I2C communications.
