Altimeter 3066
ATC computer converts the pressure altitude with local altimeter setting. If ATC knows everyone is using 3100 as their altimeter setting (can be by regulation in high pressure 31" situation, such as in Canada), the computer can do similar converson, so the IFR separation would not be unaffected.
