All this talk of GPS week rollover reminds me of a problem that I am having with my HP 58540A since I moved. I can't seem to set the correct date. Perhaps someone here knows the magic formula.
I am positive that when I had the 58540A running in my previous location (NM), that I had managed to set the correct date. Ever since setting up the 58540A at my new location (NV), I can't set the correct date, no matter what I try. I just messed with this again earlier today. Upon a fresh powerup, the command :GPS:INIT:DATE 2019,4,6 does set the date, but as soon as the 58540A gets the data from the satellites, it sets the date to 1999,8,21. After this happens, the command :PTIME:DATE 2019,4,6 just gives an error. During powerup, the command :PTIME:DATE 2019,4,6 gives an error. After satellites are acquired, the command GPS:INIT:DATE 2019, 4,6 gives an error. As for the week rollover, since the 58540A was already on 1999, the rollover didn't seem to make any difference.
