Hi Dirk,
I'm not sure which EPICS release you're using but I noticed this
in 3.14.1:
base/configure/CONFIG_SITE_ENV
# Time service:
# EPICS_TIMEZONE needed for vxWorks
# EPICS_TIMEZONE=<name>::<minutesWest>:<start daylight>:<end daylight>
# DST for 2003 US: Apr 6 - Oct 26
# EU: Mar 30 - Oct 26
EPICS_TIMEZONE=GMT::0:033003:102603
Cheers,
Andy

Hi,
when daylight saving time started this spring, I noticed that time
stamps hadn't been displayed correctly. I wodered if CA didn't support
daylight saving and changed EPICS_TS_MIN_WEST from -60 to -120. But now,
the time is out of sync again. Obviously EPICS does support daylight
saving time but uses other start (and end?) dates than we do in Europe.
What do I have to configure to make EPICS use the correct daylight
saving time?
Dirk
