How to
Configuring Enterprise Server, Enterprise Central, and WorkStation Date and Time
You adjust the date and time of an Enterprise Server, Enterprise Central, or WorkStation through the operating system where Enterprise Server, Enterprise Central, or WorkStation is installed.
In WorkStation, all times are by default displayed in local time. This means that a time, independent of its source, is displayed in the same time zone as the operating system on which WorkStation is installed. By configuring the operating system time and time zone settings, you configure how times are displayed in WorkStation. For more information, please refer to the manufacturer’s manual for the operating system.
For example, a WorkStation in Athens surveys an Autmation server in New York. WorkStation in Athens has a Greek operating system, which is configured to Eastern European Summer Time (UTC +2h) with +1h DST offset. The New York Automation server triggers an alarm at 07:43 Eastern time. WorkStation instantly reports the alarm but presents the alarm with the timestamp 14:43 which is the local time in Greece.
Some features in WorkStation, such as trend log and schedule, allow you to change the displayed time to UTC or server local time.
