        setTime [-intervals <timeIntervals> |
            -ticks <ticksPerInterval> | -history <historyLength> | -dtfixed]

  With no arguments this returns the values of the active network's
  timeIntervals, ticksPerInterval, and historyLength parameters.

  Otherwise, this changes one or more of these values and returns the new
  values. All values are integers. If ticksPerInterval is set to a value
  other than 1, the network will not be set to CONTINUOUS type as it would be
  in old versions of Lens.

  historyLength determines the size of the history arrays in each unit and
  thus the values displayed in the _U_n_i_t_ _V_i_e_w_e_r. A full history is needed for
  continuous networks but not for feed-forward or simple-recurrent nets or
  deterministic Boltzmann machines. If not specified, historyLength will be
  set to the maximum useful value, which is the same as the network's
  maxTicks, or timeIntervals * ticksPerInterval, when this command is
  invoked. A historyLength of zero will prevent the unit history arrays from
  being allocated or used.

  If ticksPerInterval is set, the default behavior is for the network's dt to
  be recalculated to its inverse. However, the -dtfixed option will prevent
  dt from being changed.

  To get the time parameters for the active network:

        lens> setTime
        3 5 16

  To change the time parameters for the active network:

        lens> setTime -i 4
        4 5 21

  To save space when training a Boltzmann machine, you might set the history
  length to 0:

        lens> setTime -h 0
        4 5 0
