contents In this paper, we introduce a restriction of Timed Automata (TA), called non-resetting test Timed Automata (nrtTA). An nrtTA does not allow to test and reset the same clock on the same transition. The model has the same expressive power of TA, but it may require one more clock than an TA to recognize the same language. We consider the parametric version of nrtTA, where one parameter can appear in clock guards of transitions. The focus of this draft is to prove that the $ω$-language emptiness problem for 2-clock parametric nrtTA is decidable. This result can be compared with the parametric version of TA, where the emptiness problem for 2-clock TA with one parameter is not known to be decidable. Our result, however, extends the known decidability of the case of TA with one clock and one parameter from finite words to infinite words.
