DST Checklist

[Ray P.]

Please note that beginning this year, Daylight Savings will begin the first Sunday in November. Those users running eSignal 8.0 or older will need to either upgrade to eSignal version 10.0 or use 24 Hour Time Templates to avoid any DST conflicts with Intraday Charts. Please be sure that your PC clock has the correct date/time and that the box for "automatically adjust clock for daylight savings" has been checked.

Also, in the Data Manager under Date-->Time, please ensure that Synchronize Computer Clock is checked (on by default).

For anyone who missed downloading the Microsoft Patch during the last time change, it is available in
KB Article # 3283

Thank you,

Update: On eSignal Version 8.0 and older, the Auto Time Templates are missing the first hour on intraday charts. As the Auto Time Templates were hard coded in older builds, this will correct itself next Monday but will surface again during the next time change in the Spring.

This issue has been corrected in eSignal Version 10.0 so anyone on an older version is encouraged to either upgrade or avoid using the Auto Time Templates during the DST changover (1 week during the Fall and 3 weeks in Spring).

Thank you,
