Someone can help me..

I am reading the data from a GPS and its send me the GMT time, how I can convert this GMT time in Local Time using Labview7.0

Thank

In LabVIEW 7.0 you might have some problems, but recent versions have a clear distinction of timezones. What code do you have allready?

Take a look at the time formatter strings available for 7.0 (I don't know which you have).

In what format are you getting the time? As a string? Are you converting it to a timestamp? If so, you just need to add/subtract your time zone difference, in hours.

EDIT: Just saw the note on LV 7. I did not test the above in 7.0 as I don't have 7.0.

There's a post on LAVA with a VI to return your current time zone.  Add this to GMT from the GPS and Bob'll be your uncle.

There's got to be a better way than this:

Probably. Except that I don't think %z is available for LabVIEW 7. In the LabVIEW 7.1 manual it mentions %Z, but not %z.
