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
