Code snippet

mdf_start_time = mdf.start_time
print(mdf_start_time) -> 2024-04-17 11:21:39+02:00
start_time_utc = mdf_start_time.astimezone(pytz.utc)
print(start_time_utc) -> 2024-04-17 09:21:39+00:00

Description

We have an MF4 file where the Data date/time in the header is:

Data date/time: 17.04.2024 13:09:32

When running the above code, I find that the start time is:

2024-04-17 11:21:39+02:00

where I believe the minute 21 is the first signal record (perhaps).

The issue is that following the ISO 8601 standard, Python and other languages will interpret this date as UTC:

2024-04-17 09:21:39+00:00

So, I believe that in reality, the start time should return:

2024-04-17 13:21:39+02:00

And when converted to UTC, it would be:

2024-04-17 11:21:39+00:00
