Because I'm using the EMAY device in the US, it generates dates and times in "US" format - month/day/year and hour:minute:second AM/PM. This causes problems for non-US formats, e.g. "2021/12/10" or "11:32:14" (24-hour format without AM/PM).

Improve the date and time parsing to recognize the locale and parse these appropriately.

If the device isn't able to get a reading (for example, the fingertip sensor comes off), it records empty data fields. A simplified case of this is:

Date,Time,SpO2(%),PR(bpm)
3/3/2024,12:07:00 AM,90,71
3/3/2024,12:07:01 AM,,
3/3/2024,12:07:02 AM,92,87

Joe's original program writes records with 0 for missing/bad data:

00000000: 0003 0000 0000 1803 0300 0700 5a47 0000  ............ZG..
                                             ^^^^
00000010: 0018 0303 0007 0100 0000 0000 1803 0300  ................
          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^-----------------
00000020: 0702 5c57                                ..\W
          ---------

My program skips writing a record if any of the data is invalid:

00000000: 0002 0000 0000 1803 0300 0700 5a47 0000  ............ZG..
                                             ----
00000010: 0018 0303 0007 025c 57                   .......\W
          ----------------------

Which approach is correct?
