Description

Query Response

The TIME command sets the clock that measures operating time. Clock precision is 1 ￿s. Execute TIME? to query the time lapsed since the clock was last set. The clocked time is annotated beneath \TIME STAMP" in the active-function readout until IP or another spectrum-analyzer command changes the active function readout. IP does not change the value of TIME. Time can be used to record the time of an occurrence, especially if the display is monitored with a camera.
