nControl and nTouch 180 units run Microsoft Windows, whereas the NION uses Linux. This means there are compatibility considerations for automatic time synchronization between the two operating systems.
nControl and nTouch 180 units use a mapping file, called timezones_lut.txt, to map Windows time zones to Linux time zones. This file is located on the nControl or nTouch 180 unit.
The file contains entries like this one:
Eastern Standard Time|America/New_York
This declares a mapping from a Windows time zone (Eastern Standard Time) to a Linux time zone (America/New_York). So, for example, if an nControl unit is set up as the time server, the Eastern Standard Time setting on the nControl unit would be translated to America/New_York on the slave NIONs.
Note: The mapping file contains a comprehensive list of time zones for both systems, but it is possible that NION, nControl and nTouch 180 units are being run in a part of the world which uses a time zone that is not in the mapping file. In this case, you will need to add a new mapping for the local time zone. For more information, see Making a new time zone available for selection.
