UTC

[Gilgamesh189b]

It would be good to run tasks at UTC timestamps.

@Gilgamesh189b . This is an interesting request. Can you detail a bit more what you see lacking in the API or how you would use this feature?

Are you suggesting that this input should accept a ISO (string) timestamp in addition to a LabVIEW timestamp? Or are you thinking of something different?

If this is what you need, please see this snippet:

It should work with the Cron scheduler code in this way:

Hi Francois, Thank you for your rapid response. I work on international time transfer links and all our processes and datafiles are timestamped in coordinated universal time (UTC). My current use case is that I want to run a process on the last minute of every even hour UTC, i.e. "59 0/2 * * * *", but as in the UK we're currently in DST that would be 01:59:00 BST etc. My other use case is that daily datafiles are created at midnight UTC, that is to say at exactly the instance in time independently of what timezone the operator is in. So if I want my software to run at 00:15:00 UTC I need to be confident that it will run at 01:15 in London and 17:15 in California. I'm not sure if setting the UTC options in the subVI below will achieve what I want, or whether there'd be more changes. [image: image.png] Many thanks for your help. Kind regards Conway

Hi Conway,
I don't see the image you uploaded... If you could try it again?

Hi Francois, Sorry about that, I'll try as an attachment rather than cut & paste. Regards Conway
