How to display time for different time zone?

[stephenzhou74]

I want to display time for different time zones. I can get current date and time in the time zone configured for my computer using Get Date/Time String function. Is there a easy way to display current date and time for other time zones withouting changing time zone configuration of the computer?

Any suggestions or comments are greatly appreciated!

Well, easy!!! It can be done! You have to know the time zone offset to GMT and then add that to your current time. Then also determine the time zone offset of your current time zone (can be done programmatically with several VIs floating around that go about UTC or GMT timezone calculation) and when added to the resulting time and displayed in an absolute time format you get the appropriate time display.
