For details, refer to “How to input user bits” (page 63).

[USER/EXT]

Records internal user values as VITC UB.

(only [VITC UBG MODE])

Same value as the user bit that is displayed when [UBG MODE] is set to [USER] or [EXT].

[TIME]

Records the time measured by the internal clock.

[DATE]

Records the hour digit of year/month/day/date-time measured by the internal clock.

[REGEN]

Reads the user bit last recorded to P2 card that is currently to be recorded to and recording this value as it is.
