Unix Timestamp

The Unix timestamp is a system for representing a point in time as the number of seconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970 (UTC). It is commonly used in databases, server logs, and IoT systems due to its precision and simplicity.

Example:

• 1708876500 corresponds to February 25, 2024, 12:15:00 UTC

Usage in Trend Module:

• Use this format if your data source (e.g., CODESYS, MQTT, Node-RED) provides timestamps in Unix format.
• The trend viewer will convert this internally into a readable format—or you can format the display using options like HH:mm:ss.
