RT set date/time error

[lincolnven]

Hi all,

I have noticed that whe I use the "RT set date/time" vi to set the time on my cFP-2010 the result is 12 hours out. i.e. If it is 2:00PM, I write 14:00 to the vi, and when I read it back, it reads 2:00 AM.

Can anyone please suggest why this is occurring, and a solution?

Thanks

David

What time zone are you in and how are you reading back out the time?  I believe FieldPoint
keeps GMT and if you read its time directly, i.e. view an indicator running on the controller,
it will display GMT.  If you bring the timestamp back to the pc and display it there it should
be tz adjusted according to the settings on the pc.
