Peter,

You can set the Z3801A time format to UTC using the following command:

:PTIM:TCOD:FORM F2

To return it to GPS, use:

:PTIM:TCOD:FORM F2

And to query the current format, use:

:PTIM:TCOD:FORM?

These commands affect the format of the :PTIM:TCOD? Time query, and the
way the time is displayed on the :SYST:STAT? status message. They are
shown in the Z3801A User Guide on page 4-8 and detailed on page 4-13. 

These commands also apply to the Z3815A, and very likely the Z3816A.

I trust you know how to send a manual command from SatStat?

Regards,
Murray Greenman ZL1BPU
