Security

Description

Retrieve or set the logger's current date and time.

For firmware versions 1.210 or later, be aware that setting the date and time will erase the logger's record of the time zone. If this setting is required, it must be restored separately after updating the date/time. Simply reading the date/time does not affect the time zone setting. For more details, refer to the offsetfromutc parameter described under the settings command.

For fwtype = 103 only (see the id command), the alternate name clock may be used instead of now, but for compatibility with all current instruments from RBR Ltd. the use of now is recommended.

Examples

Errors
