The time is in Unix tinestamp in nanosecond, with the epoch of January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT. The local time in UTC is 1970-01-01 08:00:00+08:00.

If the precision is nano-second, int64 (~18 decimal digits) is not enough. So the 100 ns is taken finally.

step 1: from UTC (local time +8) to unix timestamp (without timezone)
step 2: from float unix time to integer in 100ns, with bin [-50+i*100, 50+i*100)

As the data is loaded into Mantid, the epoch time has to been converted from 1970.1.1 to 1990.1.1.

Unix time is not suitable due to leap seconds. TAI and UTC datetime should be used in this case.

APIs for conversion between TAI and UTC are provided in CalendarTool class.
