WFDB_setbasetime

Usage: | `WFDB_setbasetime;` |
| `WFDB_setbasetime(BASETIME);` |
Input: | `BASETIME`: (string) time of sample 0, in HH:MM:SS format; an optional base date in dd/mm/yyyy format can follow the time, separated from it by a space or tab character. |

This function sets the base time (the time of day corresponding to sample number 0), used by the time-conversion functions `WFDB_timstr` and `WFDB_strtim`. Use `WFDB_setbasetime` after defining the sampling frequency and before creating a header file. If called without an argument, the current date and time are read from the system clock.
