String To Time Stamp including milliseconds

Hi, The below image show me converting the time into a timestamp (and substituting the date from a different time stamp.
This works fine except for the miliseconds. you can see here the milliseconds are defines as "%2d" and this does not work. If I replace this with "%2u" or "%3u" then the VI will error (vi attached)
what am i doing wrong
Cheers, Alec

  • 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 Stamp in millisecond?

    I need Time Stamp data in the Build Table VI to be in ms(millisecond) precision. Right now I get values in second precison only. can I format the cell of the table in any way to display milliseconds?

    You may also ask why you need this kind of resolution.  Be aware that Windows systems (and probably Mac and Linux as well) are multi-tasking and have many active processes when can interrupt yours at any time.  What this means is that something you thought should be occurring at neat 20ms intervals will do so for a few iterations, then suddenly give you a 500ms interval because an e-mail arrived.  If you need millisecond accuracy on a non-RT system, you should ensure it happens in hardware and get the timestamps from hardware as well.
    On the other hand, if you just need to know when things happened, the millisecond resolution will work quite well.  There was a weird bug in LV8 (?) used on Pentium 4 (?) processors where the timestamps were always rounded to even millisecond multiples.  I cannot remember the details, but you can probably find them by searching in this forum.  There was a long thread on the subject.

  • How to convert hex string to time stamp?

    Hello everyone..
    I am currently working on a project in which I have to read the data from a unit and display that data using LabVIEW. I am using serial communication for reading the data. The read data is in hex format. 
    Now, I want to convert this hex string to a time stamp value. I am reading total 16 bytes. How to convert this hex data to a time stamp value. I have developed a VI. But I want to know that the displayed time stamp is correct or not? Or suggest me some other solution. 
    I am using LabVIEW 2011.

  • Time string to time stamp

    Hi Everyone ,
    I have two time strings :
    05-06-2009 > 02:00-03:00
    13-06-2009 > 05:00-06:00
    I want to convert them into timestamp and then i want to compare them to know which one is older.
     If its possible without converting to timestamp then that would be good too but I guess the best way would be to convert the string to timestamp first.

  • Is there a way to have a watermark WITH a dynamic time stamp included?

    Our client rep has asked if we can create PDFs (generated from our web app) that not only include a watermark (which we now have using a png image), but a watermark that INCLUDES a dynamic timestamp.
    I know we can add these separately, but he wants the watermark itself to be dynamically timestamped.. I know this cannot be done via an image like a png, but is there any other way to do this in a PDF?
    Thanks!

    Looks like this issue has been resolved.  Developer apparently "chopped the image into bytes, then turned it into a graphic, using Java to add in the timestamp"
    Thanks for your responses!

  • Convertir arreglo de string a arreglo de time stamp

    Hola a todos. Quisiera saber cómo convertir un arreglo de strings (de fechas y horas) a un arreglo de timestamp...Adjunto el vi que tengo, pero el inconveniente es que al ejecutarlo, sólo aparece una conversión (la de la primer celda(fila0,columna0) y las demás conversiones no.

    Que tal aemonica,
    Con la finalidad de poder convertir cada elemento del arreglo a un tipo time stamp, es necesario extraer elemento por elemento y hacer la conversión. Para esto se puede agregar un ciclo For que mediante los tuneles de autoindexado de entrada saque elemento por elemento de un arreglo, se realicen las operaciones necesarias para la conversión y el dato generado se almacene en un túnell autoindexado a la salida.
    Comparto contigo las modificaciones necesarias sobre tu VI que ejemplifican el uso de estos túneles. De igual manera comparto el siguiente link con unas pequeños ejercicios para prácticar el uso de Ciclos For.

  • Time stamp dropping seconds

    I figure someone has had this problem before but didn't see it in the forum anywhere.  I'm adding a time stamp to a file so I've used the "Get Time/Date in Seconds" and wired that to a "Convert to DBL".  This then wires both into an indicator on the Front Panel and into the "Write to Measurement File" Express VI.
    The indicator displays the time stamp just fine but in the file it puts it into scientific notation and cuts off the last 4 digits as well as any fractional seconds.  The time stamp writes to the file every 5 seconds so it is important to have the rest of the time stamp included.  I've tried using probes on the wires to see where things go weird but I get the same truncated value in the wire before and after the indicator.  I thought it had something to do with the Express VI first since the indicator is fine but with it truncated in the wire it seems that the Express VI is indeed saving exactly what is handed to it...but then again the indicator...you can see I've been running in circles over this!  Does anybody know the reason it is doing this and a possible solution?
    Thanks a lot!
    Solved!

    I can't post the exact code because it is being developed for use outside our lab but I've recreated the basics of the problem.  The array would be the collected data and except some filename details and things like that everything relevant to the time and saving is included.  Also settings in the express VI are the same.  Not sure if it will help out.

  • How to include seconds and millisecon​d in the CSV file time stamp generated by the SpreadShee​t 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

  • How to Convert Time Stamp to String for Filename use

    I'm writing an Labview application in which I would like to convert pull time stamp infor from Time Stamp VI and convert to string so I can use to append as part of filename.
    The fomat that I want may look something like basefilename081208_1300.  This would represent a file name that has elements consisting of the date 08/12/08 and 13:00 hours zulu.
    Paul 

    Hello:
    Use the Format Date/Time String VI, and use as the format string the following: %d%m%y_%H%M
     This way you'll get the date string you want. 
    Then concatenate the output to other strings you need to name your file.
    I've attached an screenshot.
    Hope this helps.

  • Format Time Stamp String for excel error

    Hi all,
    I am currently trying to format the time stamp from labview to excel, in an excel recognizable format.  Ive attached a photo of that part of the vi.  The time stamp is formated correctly when it leaves the format time stamp block and after it leaves the build array block, but when it is written to excel file it is formated in what looks like a standard format and excel does not recognize this as a time stamp.
    Any ideas to fix the issue?

    The Example Finder has a few ActiveX examples I think one uses Excel.
    Also if you have the Report Generation Toolkit I think this is what you need
    http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/38D7104644E0F7A5862578B1001A86C5
    It sets the cell format to be how you want.  The default for a timestamp is "m/d/yyyy h:mm".
    BUT I just think I have an easier solution.  The problem is it correctly detects that this is a time stamp, but the cell format is incorrect.  If we convince it that it is a string it will look right and I assume that's all that matters.  So add a space to the front of your time, so have the format be " %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S" (notice the space) and I think it will look the way you want because Excel thinks it is a string.

    I'm trying to get more specific information about a selection of files - in particular, the seconds (and even milliseconds if possible) relating to the time-stamp for each. I've tried changing the international system prefs to full format but this seems not to have had any impact on finder or get info.

    You can see seconds in the Terminal utility by using the "-T" switch:
    ls -l -T
    (Those are lower-case letter "L".)
    I'm not sure of the best way to show anything of finer resolution.
