I plan on using it to calibrate timers for work. My device used to
calibrate the timers must be traceable to a NIST standard. Right now I have
to call a long distance number and listen for 1 minute, then call again at
15, 30 minutes and again at 24 hours. Was thinking if I could just use a
function or a macro in excel that would get the time in UTC, GMT or Zulu I
would have to call. The spreadsheet could do the calculations to see if the
timers met the requirements. I have been to web sites that displays UTC so
figured that there must be a way to get it and place it in a cell.
The reason I would like to place the time in a spreadsheet is so I can
create a certification for audit purposes.
