All data will be timestamped with the time according to this clock setting. Typically, it is set to GMT. OASIS calculates its local time using the symbol LOCAL_OFFSET, defined in custom.h. OASIS uses this local time to perform operations that require it, for example, syncing the drivers at midnight local time or masking hours of operation for ARGOS and specprr using the daymask.
