DataController and the WDM

Verifying the Local Time Zone

Verifying the Local Time Zone
The SKF Multilog WVT uses Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) internally. DataController
will configure the SKF Multilog WVT device with the local time zone when the device in
its factory default state is initialized. With this step complete, DataController will export
measurements with the correct date/time stamp.
When DataController is connected to the WDM, we recommend that you verify the local
time zone setting of the SKF Multilog WVT through the WDM user interface web page,
as described below.
To verify or configure the local time zone:
• Go to the WDM user interface web page.
Select the SKF Multilog WVT.
•
• Open the Property Panel.
• Expand the Device Vendor Parameters, Other Attributes panel.
• Verify the local time zone. If needed, adjust the local time zone by entering the
number of hours (plus or minus) from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) in the field
LocalTimeZoneAdjust.
• If you make a change, click Apply.
