How can I get the current time in Xcelsius?

I'm reading in an XML feed containing dates/times, and I'd like to do a calculation to see how old it is -- but I can't seem to access the current time in Xcelsius (=now() doesn't work -- it only calculates once, when the model is loaded).
I can get around that (a bit awkwardly) with a timer, but I'd also like to know what the user's current time zone is... Any ideas?

Hi,
Maybe you could use a web service to return the required information - you can feed the timezone to the web service.
Have a look at this:

    Hi
    You can use the dbms_utility.get_time tool (gives binary_integer type value).
    1/ Initialize you time and date of beginning :
    v_beginTime := dbms_utility.get_time ;
    2/ Run you procedure...
    3/ Get end-time with :
    v_endTime := dbms_utility.get_time ;
    4/ Thus, calculate elapsed time by difference :
    v_elapsTime := v_endTime - v_beginTime ;
    This will give you time elapsed in of 100th of seconds...
    Then you can format you result to give correct print time.
    Hope it will help you.

  • How can I get the Date & Time to appear on my final project in iMovie11?

    I am using iMovie 11 and have imported video from a Canon Vixia-HF21 camera. The EXIF data is imported along with the video but when I produce the final product, the date and time do not appear.  How can I get the Date  & Time data to appear on the final product?

    There is a date and time Title you can use. If I recall correctly, it displays date plus hours and minutes, but not seconds.

  • How can i get the current number of word in paragraph?

    I have cursor set on some word in Para. And i'd like to make italic all words before it. How can i get the number of current word in collection Words in mInd.Selection.Item(1)?

    Hi Dmitry1776,
    Try something like this:
    Set myInsertionPoint = myInDesign.Selection.Item(1)
    Set myStory = myInsertionPoint.ParentStory
    Set myStartCharacter = myStory.Characters.Item(myInsertionPoint.Paragraphs.Item(1).Index)
    Set myCharacter = myStory.Characters.Item(myInsertionPoint.Index)
    Set myEndCharacter = myStory.Characters.Item(myCharacter.Words.Item(1).Index - 1)
    Set myText = myInsertionPoint.ParentStory.Texts.ItemByRange(myStartCharacter, myEndCharacter).Item(1)
    ...at this point, myText is a range of text from the start of the paragraph to just before the text containing the insertion point.

  • How can I get the Elapsed Time express to output in milliseconds?

    I am trying to get the Elapsed Time express to output in milliseconds or in seconds to three decimal places. I am pretty new at this.
    Thanks in advance!

    I'm not sure I understand your question. The output of the Elapsed Time Express VI is a DBL. It's already a floating point number. The default format for a numeric indicator is 6 digits of precision. You can change this in the properties for the indicator.
    To learn more about LabVIEW it is recommended that you go through the tutorial(s) and look over the material in the NI Developer Zone's Learning Center which provides links to other materials and other tutorials. You can also take the online courses for free.

  • How can I get the current user and the current page?

    Hi everyone
    Question..
    It is possible to get the current user (from the user's database on apex) and the current page? (I mean, if I'm in page 4 be able to query a variable / function or something which could give me the current displayed page)
    Thank you very much... I'd been researching without success :-S so I'll appreciate your help
    Regards,
    Fury

    Fury,
    If the user has authenticated, :APP_USER is the name that was used. The current page id is in :APP_PAGE_ID.
    Although I showed bind variable notation for those, & substitution format and v() notation are also available for referencing developer-defined items or built-in names. See the User's Guide for more details.

  • How can I get the run time of a method?

    I click a button "draw" to invoke a method such as draw many shades.
    It hangs a long time.
    I want to get the information of how long it spent.
    How can I do it?
    I'm new guy, more detailed please .
    one example would be much better
    ThankS all :)

    Try JAMon. It is much more flexible than currentTimeMillis() and easier to use.
    import com.jamonapi.*;
    drawShape()
    Monitor mon=MonitorFactory.start();
      ..code being timed...
    System.out.println(mon.stop());// prints time in ms.

  • How can I get the logoff time of each db user from system view?

    I can get the logon_date from gv$session.
    Now,I want to get the logoff_date from some view or table.
    I know that I will get it with trigger.
    But,I am not will to user trigger for it.
    Who can tell me which view or table will show the info?

    But,I am not will to user trigger for it.Are you saying you are not willing to fire a trigger to gather this information?
    I don't know of a table, if one exists, someone will know.
    I say until you find a table, just write a SYSTEM TRIGGER on LOGOUT and place this information in your own table.

  • How can I get the DPI of the current workstation?

    Hi can anyone help me?
    I want to know the dpi witch is set on a Windows system.
    How can i get it? Because i will reformat and fit the dpi of displaying images to the dpi of a current window system, e.g image= 200x200dpi and monitor=84dpi so the dpi of the images should be set to 84.
    But How can i get the current dpi of the Workstation?
    please help,
    florian

    yes but it sucks because windows-workstations
    manipulates the dpi to a standard value of 96 dpi...
    its equal if there is a 15" or a 17" monitor ...
    thanks floI agree, getScreenResolution() just doesn't work. Try changing your screen resolution setting (say from 1024x768 to 800x600) and this method will continue to return the same value!
    Can one adjust the scale so that you can draw a 1 inch square, for instance? The default affine transform property of the graphics object passed to paint methods is supposed to have 72 units = 1 inch, but that's not true. Again, adjust your screen settings and the same 72x72 square will come out in very different sizes.
    Is there any way to correct this, short of going to native code to get the screen resolution? I know that the screen display may be a bit miscallibrated, but anything would be better that the way it is now!

    Hi Gaurav,
    Below given link gives a nice demo of integrating web service with OAF. (For using captcha user verification service).
