When using BOD Manager to get readings from a HQd meter, the date has to be set according to the following format:

dd-mon-yyyy (two-digit day, followed by abbreviated month, followed by year)

E.g., if the current day is 12/9/2009, the date should display 9-Dec-2009.

If the date is not set according to the correct format, you wil not get a valid reading.
