FORMat:READing:TIME?
Description
This command disables or enables the inclusion of a time stamp with data retrieved by the READ? command, the FETCh? command, or other queries of scan results. This command operates in conjunction with the other FORMat:READing commands (they are not mutually exclusive). See Format Subsystem Introduction for examples of fully-formatted results from a scan.

Parameters
Name Type Range of Values Default Value <mode> Boolean {OFF|0|ON|1} This is a required parameter. The factory default value is OFF (disabled).
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 returns 0 (OFF) or 1 (ON).
