Use the Time tab to specify the time options for the query.
The grid shows the time zone and daylight savings time settings for the following entities:
|
Entity |
Description |
|---|---|
|
Application |
The AVEVA Historian Client Query application. The timestamps of the returned data reflect this time zone. To change this time zone, see the procedure below. |
|
Client |
The client computer on which the Query application is installed. |
|
<ServerName> |
The AVEVA Historian to which the Query application is currently connected. You can be connected to more than one server. |
To configure the time period and time zone
-
In the Time area, use the time picker to select the start and end times for the query. For more information, see Time Picker.
-
To return the data with a timestamp that reflects the time zone setting of the AVEVA Historian, select the Use time zone of the server check box.
-
To return the data with a timestamp that reflects a time zone setting, different than that of the local client computer, click the name of the appropriate time zone to use in the Time Zone list.
For example, consider a SCADA application that monitors a pipeline between Houston, Texas and Lake Forest, and California. The Query application is installed on a computer in Houston and Texas. You want to send a query file to an engineer located at the start of the pipeline in Lake Forest to aid in troubleshooting a problem. You can set the time zone of the Query application to reflect the time of Lake Forest, California (Pacific Standard Time), so that the query that you send to the engineer displays data in a time zone that is relevant to him/her.
