Model 2450 Interactive SourceMeter® Instrument Reference Manual
Section 8: TSP command reference
2450-901-01 Rev. B/September 2013
8-73
Details
Internally, the instrument bases time in UTC time. UTC time is specified as the number of seconds since Jan 1,
1970, UTC. You can use UTC time from a local time specification, or you can use UTC time from another source
(for example, your computer).
If you use
os.time()
but do not specify the time (hour, minute, and second) options, they default to noon for
that day. When called without a parameter (the first form), the function returns the current time.
Example 1
localnode.settime(2010, 3, 31, 14, 25, 0)
Sets the date and time to Mar 31, 2010 at
2:25 pm.
Example 2
systemTime = os.time({year = 2010,
month = 3,
day = 31,
hour = 14,
min = 25})
localnode.settime(systemTime)
print(os.date('%c', gettime()))
Sets the date and time to Mar 31, 2010 at
2:25 pm.
Output:
Wed Mar 31 14:25:31 2010
