SYSTem:TZONe

Function

Sets/queries the time zone. The format of entry is hh,mm or -hh,-mm and the resolution is 15 minutes. Therefore, any entry that does not fall evenly on a 15 minute (quarter hour) boundary is rounded to the nearest 15 minutes. If -hh,mm is entered an error message is generated.

Changes to time zone will cause changes to local time, but will not directly affect UTC time.
