System Time Stamp Indicator?

I'm trying to use the "System" theme for my front panel, and my controls and simple numeric indicators converted over (from "Modern"). However, I noticed that there is no simple "Time Stamp Indicator" apparent on the System > Numeric (or elsewhere).
Is there one that I just can't find? Or will I have to hard-code it in so that it displays using the system theme?
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The most trivial one would be to just use a double floating point control and set its format to absolute timestamp. Then convert the timestamp type to DBL with the according conversion function.
If you really want to go the route of a true system type control you will have to go into the control editor, which is a somewhat irky and tedious editor that shows its age from early LabVIEW days. There you would start with a classic timestamp control and replace the cosmetics with ones from a system string or similar control. It takes quite a bit of time to get to know the control editor and work around its murky behaviour sometimes.

How to get system time format in time stamp

Hello All,
I have one problem regarding Time stamp. I want system time stamp format in Time control. If my system date/time format change then automatically my time stamp format should also change.If my system Time stamp format is hh:mm:ss AM/PM dd/mm/yy so in my LabVIEW time stamp format should also same. If System time stamp format hh:mm:ss AM/PM mm/dd/yyyy so in my LabVIEW time stamp format should also same.
So Please help me its a very important for my automation application.
Thank You.

Hi Vinal,
have you tried the FormatDateTimeString function with a standard string indicator and the "%c" formatcode as described in the help instead of the generic timestamp indicator?

Formatting the time stamp in "Write LabVIEW Measurement File"

When I use the "Write LabVIEW Measurement File" vi to write data
the files first column contains the number of seconds since the staart of the file
How can I get the computer date and time or at least the time HH:MMS???
Tom
PS, And how can I put some sensible label on each columns in the file?

Tom,
The vi I'm attaching demonstrates how to use the computer system time for the timestamp on your LVM file. It takes a reading from the DAQ Assistant and applies a system time stamp. It's in version 7.1, but let me know if you need it in version 7.0.
As for inserting meaningful column headers, you won't be able to do that with the express vi, but you could use the regular file i/o vis to create a file like that is similar to a LVM file, but is a little more customizeable and can be formatted however you like. The express vi is meant to be a quick solution, but does not offer all the versatility of the vis on the palette. I hope this helps you out. Have a good one, Tom!

Select Query on time stamp.

Hello Gurus,
Please help me in writing a select query with the where condition on time stamp for the field IBSP-VALFR and IBSP-VALTO, with the current system time stamp. I need pick all the values which falls in these two fields with the current time stamp.
Thanks & Regards,

Hi,
some how my code is not working...Please look at my code.
convert date sy-datum
             time sy-uzeit
   into time stamp low_validity
time zone sy-zonlo.
SELECT SP_INSTANCE INSTANCE EQUNO MATNO SERNO
         FROM IBSP INTO TABLE IT_IBSP
         for all entries in it_IBIN
         where ( SP_INSTANCE = IT_IBIN-INSTANCE OR
               INSTANCE = IT_IBIN-INSTANCE ) and
               VALFR Le low_validity and
               VALTO ge low_validity.
Its getting the values for which VALTO is less than current date.

Time Stamp Error: Cannot display system date and time. My VI display "YYYY-MM-DD" instead of "2014-08-02".

Hi All,
I am using Labview8.5 and Windows XP OS.
My Problem is my Labview TimeStamp cannot display current system date and time.
Please see my attachment for the screentshot.
The TimeStamp or ever Format Date/Time String display "YYYY-MM-DD" instead of "2014-08-02".
I tried other computer machine and it works. There are some computer machine has this problem.
How can I resolve this issue? Please advice. Thanks.

Bill,
reviewing the thread Dennis linked (thanks for that) reveals that it is the same account which opened this thread here three month later.
What bothers me is the fact, that the past thread is marked "solved" even though it obviously isn't. Or the OP is trolling us.....
Nevertheless, it seems like systematic error. Connected to specific machines.
What makes the machines where the time stamp issue occurs "unique"? If there are several, is that source really "unique"?
Most obvious reasons would be:
- Language settings (possibly the infamous "dot-comma-issue")
- Time zone settings (e.g. what happens if you switch Ulaanbaatar to Perth or maybe even some US time zone?)
- Missing hotfixes for Win and LV
- Is the system running as virtual machine vs. "native"?
Not so obvious differences:
- Specific CPU type
- Motherboard/BIOS
- LV ini settings
There are tons of other possible reasons (e.g. corrupt LV installation), but these are the ones i came up with within a couple of minutes....

Time stamp control dialog kills System Exec.vi !

Hello!
I just experiance a really strange behaviour in my application. I managed to reduce it to a much smaller VI, please do not look at the framework but at the actual problem, this test MAIN vi looks like this since it is a skeleton of a bigger application (i had to remove many non-relevant and confidential parts).
So. I have a USB watchdog relay from a 3rd party company, which I can use perfectly in my application via a supplied EXE. I call this exe from LabVIEW using the System Exec.vi , and it works perfectly and the Watchdog functions as it should. However I see a strange bug (?): if I launch a Time stamp control dialog browser window, it "pauses" somehow the System Exec.vi. So my watchdog command setting stops, relay opens, problem!
I zipped my test application and I can reproduce this same problem even if I just call a command line PAUSE win command. Note that, in my real application, the Time stamp control is located in a separate, dynamically callled (call and forget method) VI, but I get the same bug!!!
Steps to reproduce the bug:
start my application
observe as the bottom loop iterates
Click on the Time Stamp control's browser to pop-up the dialog window.
You can see the iteration of the bottom loop stopped (DAQ loop iterations)
if you close the dialog window, the bottom loop continues execution
What the heck is this???
How is this possible, why there is "interference" between a totally separated control and a bottom loop System Exec.vi ???
Thanks for any suggestion!
In my real app, as a workaround, I just hide the browser element of the Time stamp control...
Solved!

Thanks! Yep, I can do a workaround, like create my own time stamp dialog window to pop-up if i wanna be "fancy".
But this is important to keep in mind, if we use the SystemExec vi!
If someone can explane this issue/feature deeper, I will be happy, but I mark this above post as solution, thanks!

Bizzare system time vs. time stamp behavior after world travel ---HELP!

This is totally annoying.
I travel. When I am in other countries on business I change the time zone on my PowerBook in the System Preferences utility. When I got home from Singapore this last trip, I changed the clock back to the Los Angeles time zone. The clock in the upper right hand portion of my desktop reads the correct Los Angeles time, as does the time zone in System Preferences.
Now, when I create or modify a file on my computer, the time stamp APPEARS in the OS X GUI to be in Singapore time. However, I discovered tonight that when I create a file in the Unix terminal that the time stamp in the terminal is the correct Los Angeles time.
You can see for yourself:

What the heck gives? This is exceedingly annoying.

Hi Bryce,
maybe this is just another example of the Finder being a bit "slow". Your terminal output shows the right time stamp and that I would trust. Maybe restarting the Finder will force it to refresh. If that does not work try to restart the machine.

Time stamp in S&OP system

Guys,
Our S&OP servers are running in EST timezone but out Data Integration shows UTC timezone...I remember reading some thing about UTC timestamp in Data integration HANA procedures but I can't recollect now.
I have few questions and any insights appreciated.
1) Are there are any app or user level settings for timezone (I did check global parameters and didn't find any clues) in S&OP.
2) How to determine what time stamp being used by WEB UI or Excel UI?

SMQS: when is time stamp in the "last change by" changed?

Dear Gurus,
Recently we are encountering issues in our OUTBOUND queue of ECC. In a certain time queues pile-up to almost 2K and are in status READY.
*Integration is ECC <-> APO
To understand if its a QRFC issue or a Overloaded WorkProcesses, we need to isolate each case.
First we assumed that the reason of having the READY status are:
1. due to the change in TYPE of the queue name (APO system) from R to U or vice versa
2. due to the change in STATUS of the queue name
What we would like to know is, what does the time stamp consider upon updating?
Are those assumptions above correct?
Also the User ID seems not being updated.
I asked the user indicated in the "last change by" if he did some change, but responded that he is not performing any change in the QRFC for the past few days. But it shows his name and current time stamp.
thanks and regards!
Zeek

Dear Babu, really appreciate your response on this.
Unfortunately, when i look into SMQS the APO system queue was already set to R. Upon checking the "last change by" (double clicking on the TYPE) i see that the time stamp was at current date and time.
And the only thing that can help us catch who/what is the cuplrit (user/background process), is to understand what are the factors that the time stamp in "last change by" considers. Also the user indicated in it, was saying he hasn't performed any changes that day... What bothers us is that it might be a background process as the time stamp keeps changing every time... Usually, for what i noticed, the time stamp there only register the date and time when our system had the support pack updated. but recently, it is showing that its been changing every day.
Moreover, our basis folk just assumes that the time stamp considers both the update in TYPE and as well as the change in STATUS. He is saying that the change in activity (when ECC transfers data to APO) is the reason behind the change in time stamp. For us to prove it, we checked on /SAPAPO/CC and saw that the last update of CIF/Any changes in ECC is similar to the one in SMQS last change, so it is not a valid reason, though the time is quite near what SMQS says.
So what we need to understand is that, was it really the CIF/any updates in Orders going to APO does trigger the time stamp change in SMQS "last change by"?
thanks!

Time stamp in MRP list after MRP Run

Hi Gurus
After running a MD01-MRP at scope of planning level, with processing key as NETCH, materials which had no planning file entry also were updated with the latest executed MRP run time stamp in MRP List MD05.
Is it the standard behaviour? As per my understanding, the materials with no planning file relevant change is not included in the MRP run with processing key NETCH/NETPL. Then how does the time stamp be relevant for the latest MRP run while the material was never included in the mrp itself?
Regards
Deepak Prasanna S

Dear Deepak,
If my understanding is correct only if a mterial is included in the last MRP run(MD01/MDBT) then the time stamp gets included in the
MRP list which can be checked and confirmed through MD05 and also the output of last MRP run.
Once after the MRP run is completed the system deletes the corresponding planning file entries in the system.
On completion of the planning run, the appropriate indicator is automatically deleted in the planning file:
The system deletes the net change planning indicator and the net change planning horizon indicator for a regenerative planning
run and a net change planning run.
The system only deletes the net change planning horizon indicator for a net change planning run in the planning horizon.
Check and revert back.

Appending and add time stamp at a time........

Hi all,
i am working on a scenario...
it is file based..no mapping and bpm can be used.
I need to pick up file through xi and append it and put in the target with time stamp to it.
we can achieve this if mapping or bpm is allowed.....
But,in file processing we can use only one option at a time.....
I found a way:
scenario one: files will be appened and kept in a temparory folder
using another scenario we will pick up the appeneded file and add time stamp and keep in target structure...
but i dont think this is advisable...
please suggest me any other ways to achieve this...(can run operating system command be helpfull??)
thanks in advance..
Regards,
Kiran.

HI,
Yes you are right, Appending and adding Time Stamp will not be possible simultaneously.

/people/william.li/blog/2006/04/18/dynamic-configuration-of-some-communication-channel-parameters-using-message-mapping
But some how you have to use mapping for it. Then if its allowed to use the mapping then as you have suggested, should have to go for two scenarios. No alternative,
Probably also you can try with Customized Adapter Module for this.

Changing time stamp format in the file receiver adapter file name

Hi all,
How can we change the standard date time stamp from
filename_yyyymmdd-hhmmss-mil
to
filename_yymmdd_hhmmss
i.e., I want "underscores" instead of "hyphens" and also I do not want the MilliSeconds.
I read in the forums that I have to use the combination of variable substitution and mapping functions to do this, but not sure how exactly.
Can the experts help me with this please?
Many thanks.

Hello Ramesh,
     You can make this possible using runtime filename creation using UDF.
Please go though the below steps.
Message mapping:
Create an UDF and include the piece of code that captures the Filename and Timestamp from source side via ASMA.
Modify them according to our requirement by adding the <Timestamp> at the end of <filename> with _.
Map the UDF to any of the top level node so that the modified filename will be available for the target communication channel
UDF Code is:
try {
String filename    = "";
String timestamp = "";
DynamicConfiguration conf1 = (DynamicConfiguration) container
    .getTransformationParameters()
    .get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key1 = DynamicConfigurationKey.create( "http:/"+"/sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
DynamicConfigurationKey key2 = DynamicConfigurationKey.create( "http:/"+"/sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","SourceFileTimestamp");
filename = conf1.get(key1);
timestamp = conf1.get(key2);
filename = filenametimestamp".xml";
filename = filename.replaceAll( "-" ,"_" );
conf1.put(key1,filename);
return filename;
catch(Exception e)
     String exception = e.toString();
      return exception;
Click on Advanced tab and check the Option u201CSetAdapterSpecificMessageAttributesu201D in addition to that check the attribute that are required to be captured during run time. In our case File Name and Source File Time Stamp are required to be checked
In the receiver communication channel Mention u2018 * u2018as File Name Scheme.
Click on Advanced tab and check the Option u201CSetAdapterSpecificMessageAttributesu201D in addition to that check the attribute u201CFile Nameu201D which will carry the modified value in the UDF .
i hope this will help you.

VOICE MEMOS and Wrong Time Stamps in Itunes

I've noticed that my voice memos in the new iTunes 11.1.3 (8) have incorrect time stamps all over them now. This is a real problem for me, since I need the dates that the messages were recorded. I just tested this out by recording a new one today (2/11/14) on my new Iphone 5s. It showed up dated 8/13/12 2:13pm. My phone has the correct date on it, so what gives?
Any solutions out there?
Not to mention the fact that there are NUMEROUS DUPLICATES of previous memos that have become weird artifacts in my iTunes library each time I've backed up my materials. AND the new iTunes setup makes it incredibly hard to *actually remove data* from my system. I am concerned my private material is no longer private, but being archived elsewhere for meta-data purposes.
C'mon, Apple. You're really slipping.

I see all timezones, have you tried setting the time/date manually? I'd do than, then pop an email to support.
