Why is the time wrong on my PXI8175RT controller?

[JoeSecurity]

Here's an odd question for you: can you think of any reason why the time in my log file is correct (follows my host computer time) but the data actually being displayed in a waveform chart is off by 5 hrs? I've checked the PXI bios time and it is correct. I've examined the data in the log file after grabbing it from the RT target using ftp and it is recording the right date/time. When I probe the data being collected by the AI Acquire Waveforms VI I notice that the time is incorrect. Why would there be a mismatch?

By default the timezone is not configured. Set it with this VI.

Hi Joe,

Bob P nailed it with the timezone setting.

LV will format the time based on the time zone of the platform it is running on. The actual values (seconds since 1904 GMT) stay the same but the conversion from seconds to time and date is dependent on where the machine thinks it is in the world.
