:TIME <hr>, <min>, <sec>
This command is used to set the time for the
RTCLock
control source.
Usage
:ARM[:SEQuence[1]][LAYer[]]:RTCLock:TIME <hr>, <min>, <sec>
:DATE?
<hr>
0 to 23:
Specify hour (24 hour format)
<min>
0 to 59:
Specify minute
<sec>
0.00 to 59.99:
Specify second (round to 1/100 seconds)
Details
This command is used to set the time for the
RTCLock
control source. Note that the time must be set
using the 24-hour format (for example, hour 13 is 1pm). Setting an invalid time results in an error, and
the previous time is retained.
:TIME?
returns the time to nearest hundredth of a second.

:TSEQuence subsystem
The commands in this subsystem are used to configure and control the built-in test sequences, and
are summarized in
:TSEQuence command summary
(on page 14-29). For detailed information on the
test sequences, refer to
Test sequences
(on page 6-1).
In your test programs, use the
*OPC?
command before arming (
:TSEQuence:ARM
) the test. The
*OPC?
command allows previous command operations to finish before arming the test. Failure to do
so may cause unfavorable results. The programming example at the end of this subsystem
demonstrates how to use the
*OPC?
command.
You should use SRQ to indicate when a test sequence is finished. The programming example at the
end of this subsystem generates an SRQ when the buffer is full (test sequence finished). The
readings are then sent to the computer where they are displayed.
