In addition to the optional words listed above, the words “to”, “of”, and “limit” are allowed in any phrase (in the
context of the SET command) and are always ignored.

SET TIME:

Reference:

See Section 7

Format: :

SET TIME [hh:mm] (CR)

Function:

Sets the Real time clock in the instrument to time (hh:mm) where

hh indicates hours (00-23)

mm indicates minutes (00-59)

NOTE: 24 hour format must be used.


Example:

SET TIME 12:42 (CR)


SET DATE:

Reference:

See Section 7

Format: :

SET DATE [mm/dd/yy] (CR)

Function:

Sets the Real time clock on the instrument to date mm/dd/yy where

mm indicates month (1-12)

dd indicates day (1-31)

yy indicates year (0-99)

Year numbers 88 through 99 indicate 1988 through 1999, 00 through 87 indicate 2000
through 2087

If desired, the year may be explicitly entered as 1992, for example.


Upon entry, the date is evaluated and rejected if illogical (Feb 29, 1989 would be rejected, for example)

Example:

SET DATE 04.28.92 (CR)


SET ID:

Format::

SET ID [nn] (CR)

where nn is a number from 1-99

Function:

Sets the device ID of the instrument to the number nn specified. If different from the
current ID, the instrument is immediately deselected. You must type Dnn to bring it back
online.


The unit is selected using a selection code beginning with the letter D followed immediately by a one or two digit
code in the range of 0-99. Further extraneous information entered on the line is ignored. The first serial command
sent to it should be Dnn to bring it online. Initially, and when the instrument is reinitialized, it defaults to Device #1.
The next return character sent to the control will enable it as indicated by the MFCnn prompt, where nn indicates
the device ID. When the instrument is powered up, it is deselected and must be enabled to communicate.

NOTE: Although there are up to 99 different ID numbers, this does not mean that 99 can be driven off one line.
The maximum number of units on a single RS-232 line is 20.

Example:

SET ID 01 (CR)
