Odd question about AT command set - 06/02/2013 14:49
Hi,
Wonder if anybody knows the answer to this one, because I can't seem to find the answer to it.
There is an AT command which retrieves the GSM network time, this is:
AT+CCLK?
And it returns something like:
+CCLK: "13/02/06,09:25:12+08"
Which gives you the time and date and the offset from GMT, now not being a timezone guru does this indicate that the time is 09:25:12 GMT in the morning or 09:25:12 local time with the time zone being 2 hours ahead? (the offset is in 15 minute units so 8=2 hours).
All the documentation I have got for the modules we use don't actually tell you whether it's GMT or local time which it returns, and with the UK being on GMT at the moment I can't actually tell whether it returns GMT or local time, either way you know the offset to GMT, I just don't want to make the wrong call here.....
Thanks.
Adrian
