Examples of common TIME command requests

The following examples of the TIME command demonstrate how to request historical data for various time intervals.

Note

For these examples, assume that today's date is April 15, 2018.

Time interval request	Command string	Description
Retrieve data from one week ago	TIME 08APR2018 09:25	Displays data from the previous week at the end of the interval that contains 9:25 (that is, the interval between 9:15 and 9:30)
Display data from the next interval	TIME = = NEXT	Requests the next interval (the default) from the date and time last specified. Using the previous example, data from April 8, during the interval from 9:30 to 9:45, is displayed.
Display data for a specific time period	TIME 15APR2018 12:00 3H	Displays data from the three-hour period ending on April 15, 2018 at 12 noon
Display data from the next day	TIME 16APR2018 = =	Displays data from the next day during the same time period. The equal signs request the last specified time and duration. Using the previous example, these values would be 12:00 and 3H.
Display data for a specific time period	TIME 15APR2018 08:00 30M	Displays data for the 30 minutes ending at 8:00 on April 15
Display data for a specific time	*TIME 9:00**	Displays data from today at 9:00. The asterisk indicates the current date.
Reestablish the current time	TIME * * *	Reestablishes the current time

Note

If the returned window information does not look as you expected, the probable cause is that data was not available during one or more of the intervals that you requested. For example, if you entered TIME * 11:00 4I, you would expect the following line:

=======SYSB=====*======15APR2018===11:00====60M=MVMVP===2

If you receive the following line instead, data was not recorded between 10:45 and 11:00, so the time field says 10:45.:

=======SYSB=====*======15APR2018===10:45====45M=MVMVP===2
