6.3 Set Local Hour
There are two local hour settings: (1) Local Offset, and (2) DST/Summertime. Use “Set Local Off-
set” to adjust the difference in time between UTC to your local standard time. Local offset may be
adjusted in 15-minute increments up to plus or minus 12 hours. Optionally, use DST/Summertime
to automatically add and remove one hour to your local time. See Section 6.3.2 to set up basic
DST features. RS-232C: see Section 9.2.4.
