Howdy, I’ve got some easy charts set up displaying some tag history. I’ve got a small issue with them though; when opening the chart in the window for the first time, both Realtime and Historical modes start out lagged 3 hours behind the current time. It isn’t so much a problem with Historical, I can just zoom out and move the slider forward. It makes Realtime basically useless though. Any ideas why this may be?

I haven’t seen anything like this. Is it possible that the time is three hours off but the data is actually current (a timezone issue)? There is a client timezone setting in project properties:

This has happened to me in the past. Solution was to correct the time on the client system.

Thanks y’all! The server’s time was messed up, and I was able to fix the issue.
