Type TSP-Link accessible Affected by Where saved Default value
Function Yes
Usage
localnode.settime()
localnode.settime( year , month , day , hour , minute , second )
localnode.settime( hour , minute , second )
localnode.settime(os.time({ year , month , day }))
localnode.settime(os.time({year = year , month = month , day = day , hour = hour , min
= minute , sec = second }))
year
Year; must be more than 1970
month Month (1 to 12)
day Day (1 to 31)
hour Hour in 24-hour time format (0 to 23)

Details
Internally, the instrument bases time in UTC time. UTC time is specified as the number of seconds
since Jan 1, 1970, UTC. You can use UTC time from a local time specification, or you can use UTC
time from another source (for example, your computer).
When called without a parameter (the first form), the function returns the current time.
Example 1
localnode.settime(2014, 3, 31, 14, 25, 0)
print(localnode.settime())
Sets the date and time to Mar 31, 2014 at 2:25 pm
and verifies the time.
Output:
Mon Mar 31 14:25:09 2014
Example 2
systemTime = os.time({year = 2014,
month = 3,
day = 31,
hour = 14,
min = 25})
localnode.settime(systemTime)
print(os.date('%c', gettime()))
Sets the date and time to Mar 31, 2014 at
2:25 pm.
Output:
Wed Mar 31 14:25:00 2010
