Description

One of your team-mates has found a broken device. It looks like a clock, but there is only one hand pointing at some letters. You connect your logic analyser to a signal going to its only motor (mechanical-display.vcd). Can you find out what secret this object contains?

Using the device model number, you manage to find a datasheet online (public/mechanical-display-datasheet.pdf).

Note: this challenge should not challenge your machine memory if the right approach is taken.
