Orf Quarenghi Posted April 27, 2020 Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 Hi. In Messages window i see all the timestamps with a +2 hours against system time. If I get an error @ 9:00 AM, in the Messages window I see it labelled as 11:00:00. Is this by design? Has it to do with timezones? (I work from Italy). Is it possible to change this behaviour? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dataton Partner RBeddig Posted May 1, 2020 Dataton Partner Report Share Posted May 1, 2020 Are you sure that the display server is set to the correct time zone? Are the messages sent from the display server or from your production computer. I've noticed very often that the time set in BIOS is different from the time used by Windows and WATCHOUT uses the Windows time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orf Quarenghi Posted May 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2020 I observed this behaviour on the production PC, without connecting to the watchpax... I expected WO using Windows time, instead it seems to be using UTC... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dataton Partner RBeddig Posted May 4, 2020 Dataton Partner Report Share Posted May 4, 2020 Hi Orf, I did some research on it on my production computers and I agree that this seems to be a bug. The thing is that WATCHOUT does not use UTC but the actual difference to UTC depending on the timezone x2. I.e., if you're in Arizona, which is UTC -7:00, the offset is -14 hours. If you're in Abu Dhabi, which is UTC +4:00, the WATCHOUT time says +8 hours. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator jme Posted May 5, 2020 Moderator Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 Hi Orf and Rainer, This has been confirmed as a “bug” in WATCHOUT and it will be addressed in a future version of WATCHOUT. Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Best regards, Mikael J. Ena Senior Product Specialist Dataton AB 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
