Add option to display waveform time as UTC

[mliberty1]

Versions: 0.8.6
Platforms: All

The Joulescope time is currently displayed as seconds relative to the buffer, including when loading files. For synchronizing to other captures, including UART, would be good to be able to display time as UTC.

Sometimes, manually setting a "time zero" is also useful. For example, when synchronizing to other equipment using a GPI trigger. The Joulescope UI should allow the user to specify time zero and adjust the x-axis time labels accordingly.

Also show calendar time on markers:

[mliberty1]

Also include the option to format the date & time. Options include:

• ISO 8601
• YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss.nnnnnn
• MM-DD-YYYY
• DD-MM-YYYY
• Timezones: local or UTC
• am/pm or 24 hour

Do you have an ETA?

[mliberty1]

Hi @fnaeem786 - No ETA yet, but we are working on this. It's more work than you would guess since all methods of data storage and manipulation need to change. The new JLS v2 file format is designed to support this feature. We are planning a major UI release, likely for late this year. This feature is planned for that release.

[mliberty1]

We have finally implemented this feature just under three years to the day. The x-axis is now UTC time, and recording to JLS v2 files also saves the UTC time. When you open the JLS v2 file, it displays the correct UTC time.
