Title: Serviced
Notes: I connected to this miniDOT using sneakernet and was able to adjust the sampling frequency, but could not sync the clock. Joe thought that maybe the interface is checking a time server that doesn't exist anymore, or maybe the interface cannot be used with Windows 10. He ended up setting the clock by using the old Tonzi laptop (running Windows 7) connected to an external monitor. Campus wi-fi does not allow Windows 7 to connect to the internet b/c of security issues, so he ended up using his phone as a hotspot to connect the old laptop to the internet (after some more hiccups. 2.4 vs. 5.0 GHz wifi?) The miniDOT clock was behind by 693 seconds (~12min). He synced the clock, set the sampling frequency to 5min, and put in fresh batteries (I think). I put in a fresh desiccant pack. This miniDOT only accepts 2GB SD cards.
