DESCRIPTION
The Time Stamping (
by the unit to the controller:
If absolute time stamping is enabled, the format is
where
MIL
If relative time stamping is enabled, the format is
where
In the relative mode, the time stamps are relative to the trigger scan which is time stamped
+00:00:00.000,0000000
are positive (+). Refer to the Time Stamping section of Appendix B for details.
Note: Relative time stamping will not be valid if you attempt to use it in conjunction with continuous, gap-free
Note: If the output format is binary instead of ASCII, the time stamp is returned as ten eight-bit bytes in 2h
EXAMPLE
PRINT#1,"OUTPUT07;*T1X"
PRINT#1,"OUTPUT07;*T2X"
PRINT#1,"OUTPUT07;*T0X"
