This screen is referred
to as the Helicorder Screen since it tries to emulate what appears
on a drum helicorder seismic recorder. As the screen first appears,
each line represents one hour of recording. As you move up the screen
from bottom to top, you will see the last 24 hours of recording with
current data on the bottom line.
Time increments on the helicorder are displayed using Coordinated
Universal Time (UTC). For someone living in the central standard
time zone, you can simply add 6 hours (5 hours during daylight
savings) from current time to calculate the current UTC time.
