FAT Time Component

The time in FAT takes two bytes which contain 3 embedded integer numbers. The time component breaks down in the following manner:

• Seconds - bits 0 to 4 can have the value 0 to 29. The number is multiplied by 2 to give the number of seconds therefore the seconds component can only record to an accuracy of 2 seconds at best.
• Minutes - bits 5 to 10 can have the value 0 to 59.
• Hours - bits 11 to 15 can have the value 0 to 23.
