Siemens Open PSC 7 time stamp anomoly

Forum,
I have a tag that resides on both, Aspen IP21 and a Siemens PSC 7, 7.1 HDA. Both of these historians reside in the Mountain TZ and both servers are set to Mountain TZ and observing DST. The MII server is in the Eastern TZ observing DST.
MII version is 11.5.6 b73
The MII OPC HDA connector is using UDS version 2.5.0.4 Beta
Framework ver 2.5.0.4
OPC Data Source ver 2.5.4.0 Beta
The MII IP21 connector is using UDS version 4.0.2.5
The problem I see when I query that tag for the same time range from both historians is that the data returned from the HDA is 2 hours ahead of the IP21 data.
We are trying to figure out if it is MII that is causing the problem or there is a setting within the HDA that is the source of the time shift.
In addition to the above question I also have no Resolution capability in the MII query window. Resolution does not work as it does when querying IP21. The only way I can get the proper DateTime spread is to use the Row Count setting in the query. Don't know if this has any bearing on the above problem or not.
Thanks
Roger

Roger,
Why are you using the Beta for UDS? I would first upgrade that to the latest available (I think its the one you are using for IP21).
See if that helps.
Thanks

How to get the most current file based on date and time stamp using SSIS?

Hello,
Let us assume that files get copied in a specific directory. We need to pick up a file and load data. Can you guys let me know how to get the most current file based on date and time stamp using SSIS?

How to include seconds and millisecond in the CSV file time stamp generated by the SpreadSheet Object?

I'm Using Lookout 6.02, in a XP Pro Windows Machine, Service Pack 3.
I have an application that collects data at the rate of 20 samples per second. It works just fine, the CSV File contains all the samples without missing a single one.
The problem is that the time stamp in the data file only shows hours and minutes. With 20 sample per second, there are 1200 samples per minute. It is hard to figure out in which second or sample number, occurred some events collected. These files are open with Excel and analyzed with Excel. There is no easy way to implement a search or a guidance for knowing the sample number or the exact time in Excel. My problem is to add the seconds and if possible the milliseconds to the time stamp done by the spreadsheet object.
Any suggestion?
Other ways to do the same that includes the time stamp all the way down to milliseconds?

Create another column with the Now() function, then set the calumn format to hh:mm:ss.s
expression would be now(trigger) for the date and time or now(trigger)-today(trigger) for just time
The trigger will cause the expression to stay updated, perhaps using the same trigger for logging the spreadsheet.
Good luck
Mike

Formatting a string with time stamp and double precision numbers

%s\t%f\r%f
This is a format string that I have in old code that I've decided to change. Problem is I cannot make sense of the string codes in my own old code! Let me explain what I want, and hopefully someone can explain how to do it.
I am using the format into string subvi to merge a time stamp (formatted as %m%d%Y%H%M%S%5u) and two different double precision numbers. This string is then wired into the Write Characters to File subvi so that I can record data as a .txt file, and open it in either Matlab or Excel. There is a minor problem with the string format above because in excel the first time stamp entry is blank, and the first loop only gives the two double precision numbers withouth the time stamp - the time stamp appears in the next loop (probably a looping issue and not due to the string format, but if you see differently please let me know). Now what I want to do is 1. potentially fix that problem and 2. add some more doubles.
1. Is there a string format issue that is evident that I am not seeing that causes the time stamp to be formatted into the string after a carriage return? Or should I be looking at looping issues?
2. How do I add another one - three floating point numbers (double precision)? Are the \'s marking different numbers in this string constant? Or is it the %? I can't find any information about the \'s, but I see that % begins the format specifier.
Ideally, I want these data in the following columns: Date, Time(absolute), FP, FP, FP, carriage return for the next loop (FP is floating point double precision number).
Thanks,
Brad

Hi JonN,
Here there is no need of string concordinate function (in your code), the same result you can find if you connect the output of the format string to shift register, and shift register in data to initialize string connector in format into string function.

Time Stamps in Producer/Consumer Setup

I am trying to acquire signal from a Gas Analyzer, Flow Meter, and 3 RTDs. My hardware is a NI 9215 and NI 9217. I need to write the data to a file with a time stamp at which the sample was read. The program is written in a producer/consumer setup in which the data is being acquired in the prodcuer loop and sent to the consumer loop to be written. I can get the samples written to the file okay. However, I have not figured out how to put the time stamp in the data file correctly. I thought the time stamp was created with the corressponding measurement at the Data Acquisition VI. However, whenever I open the data file, there are only 0s in the time column. So, I've tried to use Format/Date String to add the time stamp. I can get it to work if I place it in the consumer loop. However, the time stamp is not accurate. It puts the same time stamp up to six digits of precision for two consecutive samples. I've tried to figure out how to add it to the producer loop, but I don't know how to add it and the measurements to the queue at the same time. Please tell me the best way to acquire signals with the exact time stamp and write them to a file using a producer/consumer design.
Example:
Date             Time       RTD1 RTD2      RTD3   CO2    Flow
5/26/07      5:20:01.25       57         56         56.5      100       0.5
5/26/07      5:20:01.30       57         56         56.5      100       0.5
5/26/07      5:20:01.35       57         56         56.5      100       0.5

Okay, I've put it in a For Loop and it will connect now. However, whenever it runs the time stamp increments for a couple seconds and then it just repeats. How do I correct this?

Receiver FTP processing parameters should not add time stamp

Hi Gurus,
           I want to write the file at receiver end with the same name as in source directory.. (I dont want the time stamp to be added to my file at receiver side)
         For that i have configured processing parameters as
            1) File Construction mode --- create
            2) checked Overwrite existing file
            3) Put File -
use temporary file
            4) Temporary File Name Scheme --- rec_*.tmp
            5) File type -
binary
But the files are not written in target directory..
How to troubleshoot it...
Thanks and Regards,
govada.

Hi,
open RWB - coomponent monitoring
and then - adapter monitoring or communication channel monitoring
(depending on SP of your XI)
then find your channel and you will see the error - if there is any
BTW
if you don't want the timestamp just don't use:
Add Time Stamp property in the file adapter

Folders last modified time stamp are not updated in Windows 7

After changing any .cpp file in Visual Studio, the last modified time stamp for the file's folder
IS NOT updated. What's happening ?
However when I change a Word (.docx) file, the last modified time stamp for the file's folder
IS updated ! How come ?

Hi,
If you thought this issue gets worse and if you have already set NtfsDisblesLastAccessUpdate to 0, then please revoke it to 1.
From the above Blog we can see that in Windows 7, the "Last Modified" field on log files is not updated when a program attempts to open the file or the utility is stopped, this is a design change to NTFS , becase we cache the metadata for
folder contents and do not refresh it until a handle is closed on an open file or an explicit call is made to retrieve the properties of an individual file.
Per your current issue that even if you closed these Vistual Studio files, the timestamp still didn't update. Please try the following and check whether any of them work:
- open the file in a second program
- view the proprties of the file
- "dir <filename>" at a command prompt
In addition, if you edit these Vistual Studio files with Notepad(Before doing that, please close all the programs include Vistual Studio) and try to reproduce the issue, does the issue still occur?

DATE and TIME Stamps

I'm a relative newbie still having issues with getting date and time stamps on my printed documents.
I use Preview, Pages, Numbers and also tend to print to PDF a lot, which I am opening in Preview.
I have found an "Insert" ability in Pages but for some reason it appears to only give me the date that I inserted the Timestamp.
Can anyone help me figure out my options in Mac for putting the following on a document:
A. DATE and TIME printed
B. NAME of document with LOCATION (I assume this is software specific?!)
Thanks for any help with this.
- Jon

Yes, ...and I was hoping to find a solution since I sometimes have the same problem!
But I'm afraid there is none. For sure I didn't find any fxscript function returning Date&Time. At the moment the best solution I know is what you suggested, Ian: capture twice, once in FCE for editing and once in iMovie for reading Date and Time.
I'd be glad to write and share a plugin displaying date and time if somebody is able to tell me what fxscript function (if any) should I use...

How to add a time stamp to a video edited in Photoshop CC?

Hello fine ppl of Adobe communities.
I was wondering how can you add a time stamp to a video when edited in PS CC, is it possible at all? I dont have premier but I do have PS and LR.
Appreciate any help.
thanks

If you use File > Place Embedded, you'll be able to resize and place (move, rotate, etc.) images as appropriate in your open document with the added bonus of having them added as Smart Objects. (Note that using Smart Objects can greatly increase the file size of your document. Just be aware.)
File > Place Embedded > resize and place (hold down Shift to constrain proportion as you resize) > confirm by clicking the checkmark or "commit" icon.
For layers that already exist, right-click the layer in the Layers panel > Convert to Smart Object.

Time stamp wrong in skype and thunderbird while menu bar has correct time

I noticed in my applications like Skype, MSN Messenger, Thunderbird email that the time stamp was wrong. But the Menu Bar clock and the system preferences Date and Time were correct. My exact error is that the app timestamp always showed the time as PM.
I googled for answers and several topics mentioned a locked / misplaced / corrupted localtime file.
However, The real reason is that I had a custom time format under Languages and Text system preference. For some reason the custom format showed morning as PM and evening as PM. I opened the preference, selected time, and changed it from Custom to USA.
There are several similar errors (always showing 20 before time, ie 20:43, always is 7 oclock, ie 7:32, or etc) that were mentioned in other tickets I read.
I followed this post to go into languages and Text to correct the custom time format; http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11503087 (see last post. IGNORE the part about plist!)

Mail displays the date & time according to your System Preferences > International > Formats settings. The specific format used (i.e. Short, Long, etc.) may depend on the column width. It looks like there is something wrong with your Dates > Customize or Times > Customize settings there...
> I've tried expanding the date column width in Mail, and changing to US
(instead of International) Date / Time format in my system preferences
Not sure what you mean. I don’t see an “International” option anywhere other than the name of the International preferences panel itself...

HCM Process & Forms: Date & Time Stamp issue in Prev Comments Box

Hi
We implemented HCM Process and Forms and we are in EHP4. We need user name, date and time stamp in each step for audit purpose.
Form Process Example:
Step1: Manager -> Initiates a Form for employee pay/position changes (REQUEST)
Step2: 1-Up Manager -> Approves a Form for employee pay/position changes (APPROVE)
Step3: HR Admin -> Process a Form for employee pay/position changes (PROCESS)
Process Overview: HR Admin can open a form once all steps are completed and they want to see all 3 steps date & stamp here.
New Comments -> To enter user comments in each step. Used data type HRASR_CURRENT_NOTE
Previous Comments-> To display prev. step / user's comments including user name, date & time. Used data type HRASR_PREVIOUS_NOTES.
I tried all different property settings in the form. May be I am still missing some property settings here.
Issue: If user enters any comments in "New Comments" box then only date & time stamp is coming along with their comments in "Previous Comments" otherwise not showing anything, just blank in the Prev. Comments. I added some code in form script in case no data in "New Comments" then default a value ":" . It is working fine for first step but not working the same for other 2 steps.
Trying in different way:
Creating 3 text fields in a form just for display purpose and modifying each field (data set) with some text (combination of user name, system date and time) at each stage/step in a BADI.
Method: IF_HRASR00GEN_SERVICE~DO_OPERATIONS
Here it is updating correctly for first step/stage (REQUEST) and other 2 fields are not updating accordingly. I did debug for each step and updating the data set correctly but finally not dispalying the valuse in a form except first field.
Can someone please share your ideas or inputs.
Appreciate your time & help!
Thanks
Hari

Hi Sahir
Thank you for your reply.
As I explained in my post, user details with date & stamp are coming when user enters some comments otherwise it is blank., All users may not enter comments because it is not a "required".
HR is needed this for audit purpose, just at end of the process they need to see all user names, date & stamp in the form. Forget about comment boxes, Can't we make just simple text fields with user details for each step (all 3 stages)?
FYI:
Issue: If user enters any comments in "New Comments" box then only date & time stamp is coming along with their comments in "Previous Comments" otherwise not showing anything, just blank in the Prev. Comments. I added some code in form script in case no data in "New Comments" then default a value ":" . It is working fine for first step but not working the same for other 2 steps.
Appreciate your inputs !
Thanks

*.eml Time Stamp - Select File in Windows Explorer Changes the Modified Date

The Windows Live Mail *.eml files time stamp is getting changed to the current date when the file is selected in the Windows Explorer! I save backup copies of important E-mails to folders on the Hard Drive and then synchronize them with the same folders on other LAN Hard Drives for backup archives. When these E-mail files are selected or opened from the Windows Explorer in the Windows 7 OPS the Modified Date Time Stamp is changed to the current date automatically! This action creates a real problem when doing later synchronizations of all of the folders! The date will not be the original date of the E-mail and the original file will be over copied with the file with the newest date stamp. I stopped Indexing on the *.eml files and that stopped the time stamp change when overcopy synchronization, but if the file is selected during a viewing in Windows Explorer then the Time Stamp is updated to the current date again! A solution to this problem would be greatly appreciated if anybody knows of one. Thanks - - - Shorto

The Date and Timestamp changing issue in Windows 7 has a two part fix!
1. Disable the Indexing of the *.eml file type in the Indexing Options located by Clicking on "Control Panel" - "Indexing Options" - Advanced Button - File Types Tab - scroll down to the .eml file type and uncheck the Box then click OK to finish, so
that the Email type of files won't be Indexed.
2. Delete the Registry Entry listed below, be sure to Export and Save the original Key so it could be Restored if something goes wrong! \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\PropertySystem\PropertyHandlers
and Delete the .eml entry
That should fix the problem with the changing Date/Timestamp of Email Files. For more information read CarlS's WindowsSeven Fourm thread where I also have more input:
http://www.sevenforums.com/browsers-mail/35334-eml-files-timestamps-updated-constantly.html
This should give you a better understanding on the problem and the Fix. - - - Shorto

Use files based on a date/time stamp in order

I have a PL/SQL procedure that is using BFILE to pick-up and read a file. The file will have the same starting characters for every file followed by a date/time stamp: AAAA_09232009
I need my procedure to use the file with the oldest date first and then rename the file after the procedure has run through it. Can anyone assist me in this? Below is the beginning of the procedure --Thanx in Advance:
create or replace PROCEDURE XML_READ_FILE
as
v_bfile BFILE := BFILENAME('XML_DIR', 'AAAA_09232009.xml');
v_clob CLOB;
BEGIN
DBMS_LOB.createtemporary(v_clob, TRUE);
DBMS_LOB.OPEN(v_bfile, DBMS_LOB.lob_readonly);
DBMS_LOB.loadfromfile(v_clob, v_bfile, DBMS_LOB.lobmaxsize);

How do I find the date and time stamp on pictures?

How do I find the date and time stamp for my pictures?

The Photos app will not do this but other apps will. iPhoto has an icon that when tapped with the photo open will show the EXIF information you are looking for. iPhoto is not free but you can purchase it in the App Store.
There may be other photo apps that provide this information as well.
PhotoForge2 will show the EXIF data as well as the GPS data if it is available.

I have a iphone 3 and want to know if there is a date and time stamp on the phone for the pictures

is there a date and time stamp for pictures on iphone 3?

Open a one of your pictures in any photo app on your computer and see if the metadata is there. I'd be surprised if it isn't.
