[quote:3fb0d154bf]With a scope on the SCL lines, you can see the clocking of the DS1307 at the giving interval. When the Print date and time, which calls the DATE$/TIME$ functions is rem'd out. No clocking is now seen on the SCL line. [/quote:3fb0d154bf]
IIRC, there is no relationship between the DATE$/TIME$ functions and accessing any i2c peripheral.
When you use a RTC, you are responsible to keep track of configuring the rtc and then periodically reading it to refresh your own variables that keep track of the current time/clock and display or using that information.
