[Closed] solar time seconds or hours?

hello,

I am using a Daylight controller to set the time of my render. The documentation says solar_time uses seconds:
Daylight : System[left]

[left]<Daylight_Slave_Controller>.solar_time Float – subAnim[3]
[/left]
[left]The solar time expressed as an integer value of seconds since midnight.

But from testing I found it actually uses hours.
So I want to know, is the documentation or the implementation wrong?
Currently I use 3DS Max Design 2009.
