Details
When queried without a parameter, this command returns the present timestamp value in seconds since January
1, 1970 to the nearest second.
If you query with 1, this command returns the present timestamp in the format:
<weekday> <month> <day> <hour>:<minute>:<second> <year>
Where <weekday> is the day of the week.
Internally, the instrument bases time in UTC time. UTC time is specified as the number of seconds since Jan 1,
1970, UTC. You can use UTC time from a local time specification, or you can use UTC time from another source
(for example, your computer).
If you use os.time() but do not specify the time (hour, minute, and second) options, they default to noon for
that day. When called without a parameter (the first form), the function returns the current time.
Example
syst:time 2014, 5, 12, 5, 51, 30
