When 'absolute time' channels are used in Dewesoft, they can be presented in different formats. The default format is presented in 'excel' time format.
For example we created a formula which uses 'localabstime', which presents local absolute time:
Values of the formula are shown in the Digital meter. Representation will differ depending on which setting is chosen. The setting can be seen in the following picture:

When we export the channel to Matlab, the channel's values will be exported in the default, 'excel' time format:
If we want to convert the values to 'Absolute' time format we need to call the following function:
t = datetime ( Data1_Time, 'ConvertFrom', 'excel')
The values are then presented in 'Absolute' time format, which is more easier to read:
