Using JS Date/Time functions in Octave

IoT Modules
1

I’m using Octave to connect an asset to an FX30S, and one of the datapoints we need to capture involves the timestamps.

Since the timestamp format is in epoch, I converted it to a string by creating a new Date object, but the timezone is UTC:

Mon Aug 09 2021 12:51:49 GMT+0000

I tried using toLocaleString() and Date.parse() to change timezones but the string remains unchanged:

var pstTime = date.toLocaleString(“en-CA”, { timeZone: “America/Vancouver”});

ouptut: Mon Aug 09 2021 12:52:53 GMT+0000

At the very least, I’d like to be able to eliminate the “GMT…” part of the string so I can then manually change the hours in the date using get/set methods.
