TIME
Type: Command
Description: Time Command: Returns the system time in the form HH.MMSSs.
time has the form HH.MMSSs, where HH is hours, MM is minutes, SS is seconds, and s is zero or
more digits (as many as allowed by the current display mode) representing fractional seconds. time
is always returned in 24-hour format, regardless of the state of the Clock Format flag (–41).

TINC
Type: Function
Description: Temperature Increment Command: Calculates a temperature increment.
TINC adds a temperature increment (not an actual temperature) to a point on a temperature scale.
Use a negative increment to subtract the increment from the temperature. x
initial
or x_unit1 is the
initial temperature, and y
delta
or y_unit2
delta
is the temperature increment. The returned temperature
is the resulting final temperature. If unit objects are given, the final temperature is returned as a
unit object with the same units as x_unit1. If real numbers are given, the final temperature is
returned as a real number.
