Model 6517B Electrometer Reference Manual Section 14: SCPI command reference

6517B-901-01 Rev. C / August 2015 14-155

: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.
