[time-nuts] Z3816A Control and Cleaning

[J. L. Trantham]

All,

I had already set the local time zone offset from GPS to '0' so I can't
address the success or not of the following commands if the 'offset' has not
been set to '0'.

:DIAG:GPS:UTC 1 

Worked great to set the system from GPS time to UTC time.  However, nothing
changed on the display until I hit:

*tst?

That set the ALARM for a few seconds then the receiver 'reset'.  It had to
re-acquire satellites which took a while but it came up with GPS LOCK and
displaying UTC time.

If you send:

:DIAG:GPS:UTC?

It will return '1' for UTC or '0' for GPS, depending on what the Z3816A is
set for.

My Z3801 notes  which came from Bill Jones K8CU show the same however in
upper case.
I added a note that it did not work until   local time zone was set to 
0hrs 0min.
