The parameter file contains a local timezone parameter. (LocalTZ)
This defaults to 'Europe/London'. It is available for information and if you want to adapt the software further.
The program works almost exclusively in UTC times at the moment.
You can get the current UTC time with the NowUTC() function.
You can get the current LOCAL time with the UTCtoLocal() function.
Eg:
print("local time is",UTCtoLocal(NowUTC()))
If you want to use this function you need to select the correct local timezone value for the parameter file.
The list of valid codes is available online, but you can also get it from the pytz package itself.
In Python
import pytz
print(pytz.all_timezones)
You can set the parameter to any of the values listed there.
pilomar has a useful 'listchooser' function which can be used to make this parameter setting simpler.
This is a low priority issue, but easy to implement.
