settin&s are ma$e on the .,, an$ it is possible +althou&h not correct- that they can
vary from computer to computer. If you are connecte$ to the Mark VI, this toolbo#
'in$o' 'ill also sho' 6T, from that controller.

shoul$ be listenin& to the same ;T. time source / usually one of the control room
7MIs 'ith a time car$, listenin& to a satellite. The .,?s time Done settin& 'ill control
the conversion from 6T, to *site local*, an$ if properly confi&ure$ 'ill accommo$ate
$ayli&ht savin& chan&es. The controller thinks only in 6T, / no concept of 'hat time
