[time-nuts] Z38XX

[Mark C. Stephens]

I have noticed Z38XX constantly sends:
:PTIME:TCODE FORM F2

Reading the documentation, this is a NVRAM command - it is supposedly written to NVRAM each time it is issued.

Wouldn't this eventually wear the NVRAM out if Z38XX left running for long enough?

Or perhaps it only writes when the value is changed.

I'd be interested in hearing from anyone running Z38XX if they have experienced flash failure?
