GMT offset in seconds if "Other" was selected under "Time Zone".
To obtain the required entry for any part of the world, do a Google
search for "world time zones" and convert the published offset in
hours to seconds by multiplying by 3600. Our software does not apply
a daylight saving time correction when "Other" has been selected. Press GO to enter any change. Background: A time stamp is included in email messages and in streaming data sent by the Node. If the Node has a path to the Internet (also required for email), the Node will automatically obtain accurate UTC/GMT time (Coordinated Universal Time or Greenwich Mean Time) from an online NTP time server. The Node’s time zone, daylight saving time status, and the offset from UTC/GMT time are supplied using this screen. |
