Currently, it is formatted to UTC time. The request is to allow formatting to reference from the start of capture.

Is there any progress on this? Or any suggestions on, how in the Report view, I can print out a time

It would be be nice to be able to correlate some of the data I output: like

And for example, figure out how it relates to maybe Control packet output for the LLA, which has stuff like:
```
SETUP address: 0x0B time: 24.064426839999999
bmRequestType=0x80 Data direction=Device to host, Type=Standard, Recipient=Device
bRequest=0x06 GET_DESCRIPTOR

wIndex=0x0409 Language=English (United States)
wLength=0x00FF
DATA time: 24.064447600000001

Descriptor time: 24.064496380000001
bLength=0x12
bDescriptorType=0x03 STRING
wchar=0x0049 char='I'

Sorry we don't have an update on this yet. However, I did notice that you posted a workaround in our discuss forum below. Thanks for sharing that btw!

I am trying to print the absolute time starting from 0s in the terminal.
The first frames.start_time I get in class Hal is like this
2022-05-25T05:44:03.173772160000Z. My idea is to take it as a base “time” 0s.
But it seems not the correct 0s!?

"the reason I want to get this 0s is because I would like
to format my own string in terminal with “relative time” which can mapping to the waveform screen time line, so I can quick to find it in between."

"Is there a function along the lines of frame.start_time.relative_to_capture_start? Or alternatively is there a variable I can access that holds the start of the capture so I can indirectly calculate the time relative to capture start, with something like float(frame.start_time - capture.start_time), if that makes sense?"

Mark

This seems like the best choice from my perspective. This will need to wait till the next HLA API update for now though.
