Rigol MSO 5000 NTP?

(1/2) > >>

The Doktor:
My MSO 5000 is going to be connected to my network, and I hate inaccurate clocks. Is it possible to enable or install NTP or SNTP? Bonus if it can also handle DST automatically. Google doesn't seem to be much help on this 1.

Doktor, heal yourself!


From the programming guide:



Just set up a cron job to connect to the 'scope and set the time every few minutes.

ken830:
The SCPI command documentation is inaccurate. The scope completely ignores the "seconds" value and always sets it to 0 (zero).

Simple, send the command at 0 seconds.

ken830:
Actually, now that I looked at it closer, there is something SERIOUSLY wrong with the time.

Here I am sending


--- Code: ---:SYSTem:TIME?
--- End code ---
once per second continuously and this is the response:


--- Code: ---:SYSTem:TIME?
1,6,44
:SYSTem:TIME?
1,6,45
:SYSTem:TIME?
1,6,46
:SYSTem:TIME?
1,6,47
:SYSTem:TIME?
1,7,48
:SYSTem:TIME?
1,7,49
:SYSTem:TIME?
1,7,50
--- End code ---

A minutes later:


--- Code: ---:SYSTem:TIME?
1,7,47
:SYSTem:TIME?
1,7,48
:SYSTem:TIME?
1,8,49
:SYSTem:TIME?
1,8,50
:SYSTem:TIME?
1,8,51
:SYSTem:TIME?
1,8,52
--- End code ---

Another minute later:


--- Code: ---:SYSTem:TIME?
1,8,46
:SYSTem:TIME?
1,8,47
:SYSTem:TIME?
1,8,48
:SYSTem:TIME?
1,8,49
:SYSTem:TIME?
1,9,50
:SYSTem:TIME?
1,9,51
--- End code ---

A few minutes later:


--- Code: ---:SYSTem:TIME?
1,16,49
:SYSTem:TIME?
1,16,50
:SYSTem:TIME?
1,16,51
:SYSTem:TIME?
1,16,52
:SYSTem:TIME?
1,16,53
:SYSTem:TIME?
1,17,54
:SYSTem:TIME?
1,17,55
:SYSTem:TIME?
1,17,56
--- End code ---

A couple minutes later:

--- Code: ---:SYSTem:TIME?
1,18,52
:SYSTem:TIME?
1,18,53
:SYSTem:TIME?
1,18,54
:SYSTem:TIME?
1,18,55
:SYSTem:TIME?
1,19,56
:SYSTem:TIME?
1,19,57
--- End code ---

Is it keeping time wrong? Is it rolling over on the wrong second? Does the rollover second advance by one when I issue a SCPI command to read the time? What the heck is going on?!
