Property Value

Type: AFTime
Returns the current time of the server associated with this AFAttribute.

Implements

IAFTimeSourceServerTime

Remarks

If this attribute has a DataReferencePlugIn configured, then DataReference will return the current time of the server associated with the DataReference. When a DataReferencePlugIn is not configured, then the current time of the PI AF Server (see PISystem.ServerTime) is returned.

Notes to Callers
This property returns an AFTime, which represents the server time in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). The property AFTime.LocalTime will convert the UTC Time to the local client time zone, which may be different than the server time zone. To see the time as the local time in the server's timezone, use the following command (where 'server' is the PIServer or PISystem object): server.ServerTimeZone.ToLocalTime(server.ServerTime).
