Receiving current time through rtd function

[kc lee]

Hello

I am trying to backtest the zero DTE option by calling the rtd function in Excel. I am loading option data using the ondemand function on the tos platform.
How is the rtd function syntax written to display the date and time the data was created on an Excel sheet?
For example, in the case of cqg.rtd, you can pull in the current time, referred to as Line Time, which is Chicago time:

=RTD("cqg.rtd",,"SystemInfo","Linetime")

How should I write tos.rtd that calls current time?
