Why does Teststand Seconds function use 1970 as time 0?

[Taki1999]

Just curious why TestStand Seconds(False) returns seconds since 1970 instead of seconds since 1904 like most time functions.

Any insight?

Not all common time functions use 1904.  http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007908799/xsh/ftime.html

Thanks for the link.

I was just having a slight headscratcher while resolving my TestStand timestamps with my LabVIEW timestamps.
