A timestamp indicating the last time the configuration of the
Virtual channel was updated. This timestamp uses the ISO 8601
format, which is as follows:
YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS.sssZPhh:mm
The first segment of the time stamp (YYYY-MM-DD)
represents the date the configuration of the Data Point was last
updated. The second segment (after the T): HH:MM:SS.sss
represents the time of day the configuration of the Data Point
was last updated, in UTC (Coordinated Universal Time).
UTC is the current term for what was commonly referred to as
Greenwich Meridian Time (GMT). Zero (0) hours UTC is
midnight in Greenwich England, which lies on the zero
longitudinal meridian. Universal time is based on a 24-hour
clock, therefore; an afternoon hour such as 4 pm UTC would be
expressed as 16:00 UTC. The Z appended to the timestamp
indicates that it is in UTC. It can be left out.
For example, 2002-08-15T10:13:13Z indicates a UTC time of
10:13:13 AM on August 15, 2002.
If it is not UTC, time shift has to be defined:
2008-02-28T09:59:53.660+01:00
