Setting Time Zone for the Several Instruments of the Workspace

If in one workspace window there are several Instruments mixed, then:

1. If you change the Time Zone of one of the Instruments of the workspace to Local, all other Instruments of this workspace will also be set to Local. And vice versa, if the Time Zone of one of the Instruments of the workspace is changed to Exchange, all other Instruments will also be changed to Exchange Time Zone.

Note: It will be possible to change the Time Zone of all the Instruments to Exchange only if the Time Zone settings are similar to each other. If the Time Zone settings are extremely different, there will be a message, indicating that it is not possible to set Exchange Time Zone for these Instruments and Local Time Zone should be selected.

2. When you add a new chart to the workspace, all other Instruments will acquire Time Zone settings of the new added Instrument.

Note: It will be possible to change the Time Zone of all the Instruments to Exchange only if the Time Zone settings are similar to each other. If the Time Zone settings are extremely different, there will be a message, indicating that it is not possible to set Exchange Time Zone for these Instruments and Local Time Zone should be selected.
