Marker Tab (Display Preferences)

The Marker tab sets the timestamp preferences for showing time as part of the marker for a trace.

Timestamp: enables or disables the user preference to show time as part of the marker for a trace.

Time Standard: determines the time standard to use for the timestamp. Supported time standards are UTC (default), GPS, Local, and Raw GPS Time Fields.

Format: When using UTC, GPS or Local, the user can choose a format specifier to customize the time display format.

Each format specifier must be in its own {} with 0: preceding the specifier. Most C++ chrono format specifiers are supported.

Examples:

Format Specifier	Example Result
<Blank>	2023-11-30 00:10:09.259981441Z
{0:%D}	11/30/23
{0:%D}{0:%T}	11/30/2300:10:09.259981441

The time part of the marker will only be shown for traces that have seconds for the X-axis.

When there isn’t any timestamp in the recording, VSA will default to using the start of the GPS Time epoch which is 1980-01-06T0:00:00. The actual time you see will be adjusted for your timezone relative to UTC (Greenwich) time.
