A string containing 1 or more daylight saving rule strings. Multiple daylight saving
rules are separated with the "$FF" character. Two standard rule strings, 'None'
and 'US' will disable daylight savings time (default) and enable US daylight
savings rules respectively. For other locations, daylight saving rule strings should
be in the following format:
Custom string: "Month" "Day Description" "Time" "Offset From Std" "Description"
"01:00:00"
"Description"
ex: 'D'
Time zone examples:
Here is an example configuration for Santiago, Chile which observes Daylight
savings starting on the first Sunday on or after October 9th at midnight (jump
ahead 1 hour) and the First Sunday on or after the 9th of March at midnight
(jump back 1 hour):
strTmTzDstRules = "'Oct Sun>=9 00:00:00 01:00:00 D',$FF,'Mar Sun>=9 00:00:00 00:00:00
S'"
Here is an example configuration for Sydney, Australia which observes Daylight
savings starting on the Last Sunday in October 2:00 AM (jump ahead 1 hour)
and the Last Sunday in March at 3:00 AM (jump back 1 hour):
strTmTzDstRules = "'Oct LastSun 02:00:00 01:00:00 X',$FF,'Mar LastSun 03:00:00
00:00:00 X'"
Here is the example configuration for London, England which uses GMT and
observes Daylight savings starting on the last Sunday in March at 1:00 AM (jump
ahead 1 hour) and the Last Sunday in October at 1:00 AM (jump back 1 hour):
strTmTzDstRules = "'Mar LastSun 01:00:00 01:00:00 BST',$FF,'Oct LastSun 01:00:00

A string describing the location the system is installed in. This could be any
string describing the region or city.
and
A double containing the longitude and latitude coordinates of the location where
dTmLocLat
the system is installed. Longitude is in Degrees (Fraction of Degrees). West
longitudes must be negative. Latitude is in Degrees (Fraction of Degrees). South
latitudes must be negative.
These parameters are used for calculating sunrise and sunset times. You can
find longitude / latitude values and descriptions at:
• http://geography.about.com/cs/latitudelongitude/
• http://www.census.gov/cgi-bin/gazetteer
• http://www.njdxa.org/landl-lookup-dx.shtml
A Timeserver protocol number to allow the NetLinx system to synchronous its
clock with an Internet timeserver. The available values are:
• 0 = Disabled
• 1 = DayTime(13/udp, 13/tcp)
• 2 = Time(37/udp, 37/tcp)
• 3 = SNTP(123/udp)
• 4 = SNTP Broadcast (137/udp).
The time in minutes between time checked to the Internet timeserver. You can
put 0 to use the default value of 120 (or 2 hours).
The IP address or Host Name of the preferred Internet timeserver. If left blank
(empty string), a default server will be picked from the nist_svr.lst file location in
the doc:\time directory of the NetLinx master. If this file is not present, an internal
list of NIST time servers will be used and an appropriate server will be selected
from the list.
