3.6.1.4 Time Zone Selection (Time Zone Offset) panel
The panel is used to configure the time zone offset to UTC time for calculation of local standard
time. The operational sign designates the direction of the time zone location in relation to the
prime meridian ('+' for east and '-' for west).
Selecting a Time Zone
There are two ways to select a time zone: Either one of the predefined time zones may be
selected by moving the mouse over the world map, which implies the limitation that not every
theoretically possible time zone offset may be selected. A list of cities within the time zone that
is marked in the map helps finding the correct time zone for a certain place on earth. Of course,
no warranty of any kind is given for the correctness of these lists and other information, and
local time zones are always due to change. Map and lists are merely for convenience.
A time zone can be specified manually too (up to
minute precision). For this purpose, the button
will open a dialog allowing input of the offset
as values direction, hours and minutes.
