Hi Ed,
I had a good look around for 45 minutes and I can't find where I saw it expressly stated as a NVR command. However, referring to the Z3801a manual, for instance, page 4-8 (page 74) states that: :TCOD:FORM F1|F2 selects the format of the time code message returned by :PTIM:TCOD? :TCOD:FORM? Returns F1|F2. Note that I believe this is a NVRam setting as it is persistent over power cycles. What does Ulrich have to say about why he is sending this command every update? Perhaps it is a typo? mark -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ed Palmer Sent: Sunday, 21 April 2013 9:51 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [time-nuts] Z38XX Hi Mark, I looked in the manual, but I can't see where it says that the command is written to NVRAM.
