14.1 Daylight Saving Time
The program cannot take daylight saving time into account. Therefore, make sure that measurements are not stored in daylight
saving time.
14.2 Time Zones and Location
It is important to configure the correct location and time zones for input data and the ozone plugin (if applicable). The program
calculates the correction factor based on location, input data time, input data time zone and ozone plugin time zone. If these
are not consistent, calculated corrections will be wrong.
A simple consistency for location, input data time and input data time zone is to compare the UV Irradiance graph of a sunny
day with the atmosphere transmission model graph. In case these have an offset in time, there is a problem with one of them.
In order to verify the correct setting of the ozone plugin time zone, verify that ozone column densities change value as expected,
for example at midnight.

14.3 Date and Time Formatting
Date and time formatting in the user interface is according the regional settings of the operating system. Date and time formatting
in output file headers is yyyymmdd, for example December 31st, 2004 is 20041231. Date and time formatting of data in output files
is as configured in the Output configuration window.
