The Craft output feeds a PC Com port -- I'd think that reading the Com port with a terminal emulator should verify whether the "date" and "time" events are sent regularly, or only with Alarms or Events.
I just did this, and the TS2700 has been silent for 30 minutes (it has not had an Alarm or Event since its last power cycle, about 6 months ago, according to its log). I did not want to disturb it by creating an Alarm or Event. However, I tested the terminal emulator by switching the COM port to a TBolt, and confirmed that the TBolt is very chatty. So: I conclude that the TS2700 sends time and date information to the Craft output only as parameters in Alarm and Event messages, not as independent events (at least not more frequently than once in 1/2 hour).
