The HP driver in ntpd sends an occasional ":PTIME:TCODE?\" and expects to get 
a format 2 response.  I'd have to check the code to be sure of the details.

There is an option that I'm not familiar with to log the status screen.  It 
expects 24x80 characters.  If something similar to a Z3801 has a different 
size screen we should be able to work out something....   That's assuming it 
works without logging the status screen.
