== Status registers ==

* '''Status A'''

<pre>
bit0-3  [not used] interrupt frequency
bit4-6  time frequency (must be 010; if not, set it to this value, otherwise the RTC will not work correctly)
bit7    1 = time is beeing updated at the moment, so don't read it!
</pre>

* '''Status B'''

<pre>
bit0    1 = take summer time into account
bit1    0 = 12 hours time format, 1 = 24 hours time format
bit2    0 = all values in BCD format, 1 = all values in binary format
bit3    1 = [not used] activate rectangle generator
bit4    1 = [not used] generate interrupt after time update
bit5    1 = [not used] generate interrupt if alarm
bit6    1 = [not used] generate periodic interrupt (see status A, bit0-3)
bit7    1 = stop time update; set this, during you update the time and reset it after the update!
</pre>

* '''Status C'''

<pre>
bit4    1 = [not used] interrupt has been generated because of time update (see status B, bit4)
bit5    1 = [not used] interrupt has been generated because of alarm (see status B, bit5)
bit6    1 = [not used] interrupt has been generated because of periodic (see status B, bit6)
</pre>

* '''Status D'''

<pre>
bit7    0 = battery is nearly empty, please charge or replace
</pre>
