Functional Description:
The Calendar generic hardware operator provides access to a real-time clock resource in the physical hardware. When the generic operator is linked to a specific hardware resource, the operator reports the current date.
Output is the current year. Output is the current month (range 1-12). Output is the current day of the month (range 1-31). And output is the current day of the week, where 1 = Sunday, 2 = Monday, ..., 7 = Saturday.

The operator has a track & hold input which freezes its outputs while HIGH; while the input is LOW, the outputs track the real-time clock. The hold feature is useful to maintain the date that an event occurred.

User-Defined Properties:
Object Name. A string label that identifies the operator

Display Track & Hold Input. This property determines if the track & hold input pin is visible in the schema diagram. Design Pad issues a warning upon processing the schema when the pin is visible but not connected. The warning message is not issued when the pin is not visible (when this property is not checked).

Comments: None.
