Turbo PMAC On-line Command Specification 397
STN={constant}
Function: Set MACRO station order number
Scope: Global
Syntax: STN={constant}
where:
 {constant} is a value in the range 0 to 254 representing the order of the Turbo PMAC in the
MACRO ring
This command causes Turbo PMAC to set its station order number, intended to be the order of the Turbo
PMAC in the MACRO ring. When the Turbo PMAC has a station order number of 1 to 254, and receives
a MACROSTASCII{constant} command whose {constant} value matches the station order
number, it will respond to the command. The first device in the ring with a station order number of 0 (no
order established) will respond to a MACROSTASCII255 command.

TIME
Function: Report present time
Scope: Global
Syntax: TIME
This command causes Turbo PMAC to report the current time of day. The time is reported in the
international 24-hour clock format:
{hh}:{mm}:{ss}
where:
 {hh} is the 2-digit representation of the hour (00 <= {hh} <= 23)
 {mm} is the 2-digit representation of the minute (00 <= {mm} <= 59)
 {ss} is the 2-digit representation of the second (00 <= {ss} <= 59)
The time must originally have been set with the TIME={time} command for the time reported here to
be valid. If the Option 18B non-volatile clock/calendar IC is present, this IC will retain and advance the
time information even while no external power is applied. On power-up or reset of the Turbo PMAC, the
present date and time are copied from the module into active memory, and the time information is then
advanced in active memory. The TIME command reports from active memory.
If the Option 18B is not present, Turbo PMAC will default to Jan. 1, 2000, at 00:00:00, on power-
up/reset, and date and time will advance in active memory from this point. The actual date may be loaded
into active memory after power-up/reset, and the date and time will advance from this point.
Examples:
TIME
00:01:42 ; 0 hours, 1 minute, 42 seconds
TIME
13:47:22 ; 13 hours, 47 minutes, 22 seconds (1:47:22 pm)
TIME={time}
Function: Set the present time
