command: :SYSTem:DATE
syntax: :SYSTem:DATE<wsp><year>,<month>,<day>
description: Sets the instrument's internal date.
parameters: the first value is the year (four digits),
the second value is the month, and
the third value is the day.
response: none
example: syst:date 1999, 1, 12
command: :SYSTem:DATE?
syntax: :SYSTem:DATE?
description: Returns the instrument's internal date.
parameters: none
response: The date in the format year, month, day (16-bit signed integer values)

command: :SYSTem:ERRor?
syntax: :SYSTem:ERRor?
description: Returns the next error from the error queue (see
Each error has the error code and a short description of the error, separated by a comma, for example 0, "No error".
Error codes are numbers in the range -32768 and +32767.
Negative error numbers are defined by the SCPI standard. Positive error numbers are device dependent.
parameters: none
response: The number of the latest error, and its meaning.
example: syst:err?
68
The SYSTem subsystem lets you control the instrument's serial interface.
You can also control some internal data (like date, time, and so on)
