TCorrection
Retrieves the time correction parameter. Returns TC . This value is set at the time of
manufacture and corresponds to the error in the CPU crystal frequency in parts per million (ppm).

TCorrection
Sets the time correction parameter. Returns TC. This command is only permitted after protection
has been removed with the PWord command.


TEmperature
Retrieves the temperature zero count. This value is calibrated during manufacture.

TIme
Retrieve the current universal time. Returns TIme
.
The time specified is Universal Time. The year is full (e.g. 1992), the day is Julian (i.e.
1 through 366), the hour is between 0 and 23.

TIme
Sets the internal clock on the 2AP. Returns TI. The year is full (e.g. 1993), the day is Julian (i.e. 1

through 366), the hour is between 0 and 23. This command is only permitted after protection has
been removed with the

PWord

command.


TL
Retrieves the tilt induced latitude and longitude error of the 2AP once it has been levelled. Returns
TL . gives the degrees of latitude error.
gives the degrees of longitude error.

TL
Sets the measured tilt induced longitude and latitude error of the 2AP. This command is only
permitted after protection has been removed with the PWord command.

VErsion
Retrieve version information for the 2AP. Returns VE version>. The electronics version has the form "a.b", where "a" identifies the version of the
electronics board and "b" determines the sensor attached to the Analogue input port. The
possibilities are:

a=2

a temperature sensor is provided.

b=0

no other sensors are present.

b=8

a sun sensor is present.


VMax
Retrieve the maximum operating velocity for all motors. Returns VM 1>. Velocity is in degrees/second.

VMax
Set maximum operating velocity for the given motor. Returns VM. Out of range values of
are automatically adjusted into range. The VMax setting may reduce the maximum
value of AMax. This command is only permitted after protection has been removed with the PWord
command.

XTent
Retrieves the range for the instrument. Returns XT limit 1> > . This gives the clockwise (CW) and counter-clockwise (CCW)
travel range for each motor (in revolutions relative to the reference sensor).
