UTC date and time

[oley]

Hi,

I’ve created calculated channel as mentioned in the topic https://forum.rapidscada.org/?topic=how-to-show-current-date-and-time-on-scheme-or-dashboard

If I use the DateTime.UtcNow.ToOADate() formula I become local time in the view.
If I use the DateTime.Now.ToOADate() formula I become local time + 2 in the view.

The time seems to be converted from UTC to local time, so in order to become UTC in the view, I would have to convert it additionally.

Best regards

The Web Server converts the time to the time specified in its settings, if not specified, then to the local time.

The Scada Server stores the time in UTC.

This is a headache for me when developing drivers, because the time of the device may also be added, which is set in the 3rd time zone, different from the UTC server and different from the Web server 🙂
