Valid values

  • NIST_Compliant. The transition time is not a valid timestamp.

    Spring DST is 1:59:59 to 3:00:00. The time 2:00:00 does not exist.

    Fall DST is 12:00 to 1:00 to 1:59:59 to 1:00 to 2:00. The time 1:00 occurs twice, and the time 2:00 occurs once.

    Note: The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) regards the transition time as imaginary. If the input file contains time stamps that include either of the imaginary times, the receiving system might not accept the data if you use the NIST_Compliant value.

  • ITRON_Compliant. The transition time is a valid timestamp. Use this value if the import file contains timestamps that are also DST transition times.

    Spring DST is 2:00:00 to 3:00:01. The time 2:00:00 exists.

    Fall DST is 12:00 to 1:00 to 2:00 to 1:00:01 to 2:00. The time 2:00 occurs twice, and the time 1:00 occurs once.
