DST Reference: When configuring a Local Clock that is synchronized to an

of the input time (Local Timescale, or UTC Timescale), in order to provide
proper internal conversion from one Timescale to another.
Select Local or UTC, depending on the Timescale of the Input reference this

Additional Local Clocks may need to be created if multiple input Times-
cales are being submitted.
