Absolute Time is Incorrect

[freetink3r]

When running with the option -t ABS, the timestamp does not match the time set on MacOS. The minutes are not even correct.

According to PEAK's PCANBasic documentation, time-stamps are defined as follows:

TPCANTimestamp:
Defines a time-stamp of a CAN message. The time-stamp contains the number of microseconds since the start of Windows.
TPCANTimestampFD:
Represents the timestamp of a CAN message with flexible data rate. The time-stamp contains the number of microseconds since the start of Windows.

On macOS, the time-stamp contains the number of microseconds since the system was booted. Be aware that the system time is not updated while the system is sleeping. Therefore, the time-stamp is not monotonic.

If you like, you can compare this behavior on Windows with the utility can_moni from the PCANBasic-Wrapper repo.
