Example
This command returns an error code. The error queue
is organized as a First-In, First-Out (FIFO) queue. This
means that it is always the oldest error in the queue that
is returned. Only one error is returned per query.
A list of the errors and the error codes is given in
Appendix I.
A returned error code of 0 means that there are no errors.

SYSTem:TIME <wsp><hour> , <minute> ,<second>
0 < hour < 23
0 < minute < 59
0 < second < 60
This command sets the time on the internal clock in
the instrument. You enter the time as three integers,
separated by commas. Note that the seconds can be set to
a value in the range 0 to 60. When you set the seconds
to 60, the actual value for the seconds is zero but the
minutes are incremented. The hours, day, month and year
may also be incremented. For example, if you set the time
by the command SYST:TIME 23,59,60 the time is set to
midnight and the day is incremented. The time is set to
the new value Immediately when the message has been
parsed.
The time is not affected by reset conditions ( ♦ RST,
power-olT, and so on).
