Only LabVIEW's internal int32/timestamp seconds since 1904 is in UTC. Once you format that timestamp into text format, either in a front panel control or using the diagram prmitives for this and even the seconds to date/time cluster functions, you get the local time according to the timezone configured in your system. Unless you live on the Greenwich meridian, you will see that 0 seconds will not display as 00:00:00 1 Jan 1904 in a numeric display formated to show Date & Time format, which shows you your timezone offset. If you need the seconds since value in local time, you need to calculate the timezone offset and subtract it from the LabVIEW seconds. There are VIs to do that on NIs site somewhere. Try to look for timezone calculation or GMT or something like that. The idea is to convert a known seconds since such as 86400 into a date time cluster, then taking days, hours, minutes and seconds calculate its local seconds since and subtract 86400 from that and you end up with the timezone offset.
