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:

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
