instrument will generate an error.
 You can omit the millisecond of <ss.sss>, the instrument treated the millisecond as
zero.
 The time setting is stored in the non-volatile memory (refer to
Appendix C:
Non-volatile Memory) and does not change when the power has been off, after a
Factory Reset (send the
*RST command) or after an Instrument Preset (send the
SYSTem:PRESet command).
