Applying Local Time Zone Offset _________________________
This command sets the time zone local time offset to provide an offset from
Universal Coordinated Time (UTC) to serve as the basis for all reported time.
The local 24-hour time and local calendar date depend on the present setting
of the time zone parameter, which is used to indicate the offset from UTC.
Typical application of this command is to account for time zone differences
between the installed Receiver location and the prime meridian at Greenwich,
which uses UTC uncorrected.
