Syntax

public virtual AFTime ServerTime { get; }

Public Overridable ReadOnly Property ServerTime As AFTime
	Get

Dim instance As AFDataReference

Property Value

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

Remarks

If the AFDataReference does not override this property, 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).
