Time Zone
Timekeeping in the Data Logger
The data logger records all measurement timestamps in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). This time is updated daily via the GPS receiver.
Time Zone
The logger time zone is set by ZENTRA Utility or the Cellular network. The cellular network may provide updated time zone information during transitions into or out of Daylight Saving Time (DST). Some cellular updates are not always immediate, and some networks may not transmit time zone data at all. This can lead to discrepancies in local time display.
Automatic Clock Synchronization
When using ZENTRA Utility to connect to a data logger, you can disable the clock synchronization to prevent overriding the time zone with the PC or mobile device time zone. See the device manual for more information.
Enforce A Specific Time Zone
You can apply a time zone override in ZENTRA Cloud to enforce a specific time zone, regardless of what the logger or network reports.
