F1 – Time Zone Offset
Use function F1 to display and set the time zone offset between your Standard Time zone and Universal
1
Time Coordinated (UTC). Refer to
Standard Time and Local Time used by F69. For an expanded explanation of Local, Standard, UTC, and
GPS time, see "F69 – Time Mode" on page
For example, to set the time zone for Pacific Standard Time (UTC –8 hours), set the value in F1 to –
08:00. Do not include the 1-hour Daylight Saving Time (DST) offset in this value. DST is handled
separately by "F66 – Daylight Saving Time (DST) Mode" on page
Because the front panel display and Multicode Output card can be configured to display/distribute Local
or Standard time, we recommended configuring F1 as described in the
page 19.
The factory setting for F1 is UTC –8:00 hours (Pacific Standard Time).
