Sure...
Presently when you set time zone say UTC -5 which would be east coast of US/Canada we are in what is called Daylight Saving Time (DST). This is the practice of advancing clocks by one hour during warmer months—"springing forward" in March and "falling back" in November—to extend evening daylight.
If I set the time zone to UTC-5 that means that during the time when DST is active time showing by the console of the N90 would be one hour behind which is not the actual time. To correct this one would have to manually keep on changing this setting to UTC-4 so that time shows correctly. I would rather have the N90 self-adjust once DTS has been selected and time zone defined.
This is typically addressed by ability to add date referenced when the DST in active so that firmware can properly adjust time. Another more preferred option is to set location and have the software auto compensate based on selected location so that proper time compensation can be achieved.
Good example would be if you look at Windows once you enable location services the software autodetects where you are located and sets the time accordingly. If this takes too much code then I think ability to manually enter the DTS start and end parameter would do the job then software would have to compare the date and set the time as needed.
Here is the example when the DST is active with UTC -5 setting:
Daylight Saving Time Schedule (Canada & US)
- Begin: 2nd Sunday in March·
- End: 1st Sunday in November
- Time: Always 2:00 A.M.
