Remarks
The reading format applies to all readings being retrieved from the instrument; you cannot set the format on a per-channel basis.
If enabled, the time stamp information is shown either in absolute time (time of day with date) or relative time (time in seconds since start of scan) as set by the FORMat:READing:TIME:TYPE command.
The CONFigure and MEASure? commands automatically disable the time stamp setting.
The time stamp setting is stored in volatile memory and will be disabled (OFF) when power is turned off or after a Factory Reset (*RST command).
Return Format
The query command returns "0" (OFF) or "1" (ON).
Examples
The following command enables the inclusion of a time stamp.
