Time stamp not recognized by Excel

I am working on a VI to collect data from 16 load cells. I am using FieldPoint. The VI saves this data to Excel and puts a timestamp along with the data. The problem is this. The number in the timestamp cannot be converted by Excel into a useable time. I have placed a probe on both sides of the conversion from the timestamp and verified the problem. There is probably another way to skin this cat.

I went in and subtracted (5) hours x (60) seconds x (60) minutes from the 126316800 constant. This made the time correct. Surely NI has come up with a better method than this? I need to take this system to all corners of the globe and hate to have to adjust the time to match.
I also had to delete the date time to seconds vi and associated hookup in order to get the time to work. I replaced all of this with the get date time vi and it seems to work fine. Excel now can convert the output to a useable number.
Thank you for all the help!

Time stamps not linear

Hi,
I have a DAQ USB-6251 driven by labview.
The time stamps on the text file have backward and forward jumps in them. See attached for picture.
They increase linearly for about 12000 samples, then jump backwards
about a 3 sec, linearly increase for about 1000, then jump forward
about 6 seconds. This cycle then repeats ie increasing nice and
linearly for about 12000 samples, jumping back etc.
I suspect there is a buffer somewhere which fills up and then acts strangly when trying to reset.
Any explanations? Any solutions?
Here's some further info about my setup:
Producer loop:
I generate a continuous analog output signal which I feed back into one of analog input pins which I also continuously acquire.
The generation and acquisition both have sample rates of 4096
samples/sec and 1024 samples are set to acquire/generate per loop.
The recorded input is enqueued.
Consumer loop:
Dequeues data and write to text file.
Regards,
Jamie

Ben,
Maybe this is a good chance for me to learn (be convinced of) something then. I'd try this out for myself on hw, but I've got tests running now.
Let's suppose I have both an AI and an AO task, both set up to start off the same sample clock. However, the AO outputs on the leading edge of a clock while the AI samples on the trailing edge of the clock. Let's further stipulate that the clock is generated by an on-board counter at 5 kHz with 90% duty cycle. So the AO update occurs 180 microseconds before the AI. How do waveforms handle this offset in t0? Will t0 simply be set to 0 because of the use of an "external" sampling clock? Or will the two t0 values be equal and non-zero? Or will they be sometimes equal and sometimes different, depending on the "phase" of the system clock -- either the 1 msec one or the 16 msec one used for system timestamps?
Now, concerning triggering: Does t0 represent the time of the trigger? Or of the first sample / output *after* the trigger? Or is it the time you call DAQmx Start prior to receiving a trigger signal?
Other concern: even when not *strictly* necessary, I try to make a habit of making code that runs pretty efficiently, unless that puts an undue burden on development / maintenance effort. My experience with processing large arrays vs. processing clusters containing large arrays has suggested that pure arrays are typically significantly more efficient to manage. (I'm sure it depends on sizes and kinds of processing too.) Aren't waveforms essentially cluster-like?
Well, enough of the blah, blah, blah. I really *am* interested. I know many of the analysis functions prefer (if not require) waveform inputs rather than raw arrays these days, so there are some clear code simplicity advantages to waveforms IF I can be convinced that I'm fully informed of the downsides and gotchas. (Another example of worry: when integrating a waveform, how does the floating point roundoff accumulate from the 'dt' value? Will results late in a long array contain more cumulative roundoff error?)

Windows 8 Last Access Time Stamps not working

Hi I have been trying to fix a issue with last access time stamps not working when I open a file
so will have time on created modified and accessed from when created but some are wrong like one file
saying
created ‎Sunday, ‎September ‎14, ‎2014, ‏‎5:19:32 AM

I'm not sure what can cause this please help thank you

Hi whowhatwere,
Are you only confused about the last access time not change when you open a file?
If you want to know more details about modified and created time, we can refer to the following KB.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/299648/en-us
About the accessed time, please refer to the following blog.
How do I access a file without updating its last-access time?
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/oldnewthing/archive/2011/10/10/10222560.aspx
The blog mentioned that: In fact, the intuitive definition of access is more specific: It's "the last time I opened, modified, printed, or otherwise performed some sort of purposeful action on the file."

Time Machine not recognizing full space available on NAS.

I recently purchsed and set up an Iomega Storcenter ix4-200d NAS with Time Machine support. The NAS has 8 TB storage total, with ~4.6 TB available.
I have TIme Machine support turned on in the Storcenter, assigned to a folder called "Time-Machine." In my OSX Time Machine preferences, I select the "Time-Machine" folder on my NAS as the back-up disk, and my Mac connects to it just fine.
The challenge is Time Machine returns an error saying there isn't enough space on the backup disk to complete the backup.
For some reason, Time Machine is only recognizing 536.36 GB of space available on the backup disk, even though there are ~4.6 TB available. I tried manually moving my iTunes media folder (~700 GB) to the "Time-Machine" folder on my NAS to see if the Iomega NAS was arbitrarily setting a max size to a Time Machine folder. I was able to manually move just under 1 TB of data to the same "Time-Machine" folder that Time Machine says only has 536.36 GB of space.
I tried deleting the Time-Machine store on my NAS, turning Time Machine support off, then turning it back off and creating a new "Time-Machine" folder. I did this several times and still get the same behavior.
I even tried running Time Machine piecemeal, excluding larger folders at first and running a back-up, to see if maybe Time Machine wasn't liking that large of an initial backup. This worked, and then I gradually removed some exclusions and ran back-ups again, so each back-up size was never more than 200 GBs or so. However, after several back-ups, I received the same error message saying there wasn't enough space on the backup disk when the total sparsbundle size reached 536.36 GBs.
Since I can manually move more than 536.36 GB of data to the backup disk, I'm guessing it must be something with Time Machine not recognizing the full space available on the NAS.
Any ideas? Has anyone seen this before?

Hello,
not that it helps, but I see the same on the exact same configuration. My message is also about not having enough space, ip-to exactly the same amount of room being available (only 536.36 GB available)?
I tried everything, including a full reset of the StorCenter, but to no avail. The timemachine backup used to work, however I thought that this was just because it didn't exceed the limit of one physical disk in the StorCenter (I've got 4 x 1 TB).
What is strange is that the original author has 2TB disks and still has the same problem? So it likely isn't related to the physical disk size. It seems like the maximum backup can only be 536.36 GB ??

Time Machine Not Recognizing Some files as Changed ... Until I Restart

Yesterday I upgraded the HD in my Macbook Pro, and I used Time Machine to restore my stuff to the new drive. Worked like a charm, except...
First bit of strangeness: I noticed that Time Machine hadn't restored the most recent versions of some of my applications, e.g. OmniFocus, Transmission, Skim, and PTH Pasteboard. I checked my TM backup, and sure enough, it had not backed up recent updates.
I noticed that all those programs have one thing in common: built in updaters. The programs download and install the updates themselves. I used the built in updaters to get the latest versions of the above programs, then ran Time Machine. Time Machine did not back them up. Hmm...
Second bit of strangeness: Prior to my HD upgrade, I kept my iTunes Library on an external drive. After the upgrade I had enough space for my iTunes library on my internal. I changed the Library location in the iTunes prefs, then did a "Consolidate Library" in iTunes. It dutifully copied my 100+ GB of music to my internal drive.
I then did a "Backup Now" in Time Machine. It didn't recognize the that any new files had been added.
So I decided to restart my computer to see if that had any effect. Bingo! Time Machine recognized the new music files AND the programs I had updated.
Call me crazy, but this seems like a bug. Anyone else run into this problem?

I seem to have a similar problem except not solved by a restart. I have been creating and editing files today and plugged into my backup disc this evening and I cannot seem to get these files into the backup. In time machine they only appear in the Now screen.
I corrupted a backup by the power failing on the external disc during a backup, so I deleted the time machine folders for that Mac and started a new backup. That new backup does not appear to be progressing, although the time stamped versions are there.

Time capsule not recognizing Toshiba external hard drive

I have a new time capsule unit. it is up and running and works great. I bought a Toshiba 1TB external drive and plugged into the usb port on time capsule. I restarted Time capsule and it does not show up on my Macbook air anywhere (just bought this week). i plugged the Toshiba directly into the Mac Book and it recognizes it just fine, but not recognizing through Time capsule. Please help!
thanks!

Is the Toshiba drive formatted HFS+ without guid partition. If not redo the format.
Not all USB devices are recognised on the TC.. you sometimes have to use a powered hub. even though the hard disk is powered.. even then there can be usb chips the TC is not able to recognise as it has a limited number of drivers.

Time Machine not recognizing external hard disk

I am trying to set up backups via Time Machine on my external hard drive but as I go through the process the my hard drive is not recognized in the dropdown menu. It the external hard drive is recognized in the Finder but not by Time Machine. What gives?

do you know how the disk is formatted? it may be in a format that time machine does not support, but which the finder can see. just like this guy:

Date and Time Stamp not showing up on import?

I recorded with date and time stamp on my Sony Sr-11 and when I import it in iMovie 11 it's not displayed. Please help so when I import it shows up in iMovie 11.

Playing back the tape in the camcorder that originally recorded the tape with the display output activated, doesn't mean that you actually recorded the date & time as part of the video. Check the user's manual of your camcorder to find out how to record date & time as part of the image - not just to a data track. FCP doesn't access the data code info.

Time Stamp not affected by change of calculated fields.

Dear Experts,
We have several calculated fields that are depended on values of lookup records or the system-time.
I experienced during recalculation that when the calculated field changes the Time Stamp did NOT change. This change did also NOT trigger the workflow with Trigger Action: Record Update. AND the record is not Syndicated because the syndication map has Suppress Unchanged Records.
Has anyone an idea how to solve this?
Kind regards,
Job Jansen

Dear Kanstantsin,
I don't know what you mean by "simple field" but I have 2 calculated fields one is Text and the other is Boolean. In both cases the Time Stamp is not updated during recalculation.
Of course both fields are selected fields in the Time Stamp field.
Kind Regards,
Job Jansen

Time Machine Not Recognized After Clean Snow Leopard Install

I've searched for this particular question.
I was unhappy with Snow Leopard dragging. I wanted a clean install. I did not have the original snow leopard installation for my computer, so I got a different snow leopard DVD. This has apparently caused problems with time machine.
The clean install in complete. I am now ready to migrate my Time Machine backup onto my iMac24". However, Time Machine is not recognized--at least not in the way I want.
When I plug my time machine HD into the USB, snow leopard asks if I want to use this for future back-ups. I decline, because I specifically want to restore what has already been backed up. The HD is visible as an external device--and I can in fact see the raw data of my time machine backup stored in folders.
However, when I enter migration assistant, time machine is invisible. On the page where I am expecting to select time machine, I instead get a perpetually spinning circle icon.
I suspect time machine is "linked" to the prior snow leopard operating system, rather than to the computer ID. Obviously, this is a bit of a mistake on my part. However, I'm already into the breech and I've got no choice but to go forward.
Please advise how to redirect my time machine to its new master (same computer, different snow leopard registration)?
Thanks so very much.

Retail disk? Yes, it was the snow leopard CD.
I used a single license snow snow leopard CD install the first time around, when snow leopard was first released. At at that time I "upgraded" my system from leopard.
This time, I used a different physical disk with snow leopard with a family license. This time I did a "clean" install in which I first erased my hard drive using disk utilities.
There were no problems with the installation.
As I say, my time machine hard drive is "recognized" by the computer as an external drive. It just is not recognized when I utilize the migration assistant. It is also "recognized" as a time machine, but only as a potential time machine for prospective use to update going forward, whereas I want it to open up as a time machine for my iMac that I just wiped clean yesterday.
Thanks for your assistance.

HT3728 TIme capsule not recognized on network

Hi
I set up my Time Capsule and did the first back-up with Time Machine and then decided to see if I could make Time Capsule go wireless -- it worked -- so I unplugged Time Capsule and moved it to a different location, off the desk and now Time Capsule is not recognized by the network. Has anyone else had this problem?

How is the TC connected to the network now and how was it connected before you moved it??
Do you still use internet via the TC? Is it working for internet connection but not backups?
What mode is the TC in.. ? Router, bridged or extend wireless.. join wireless?

Time capsule not recognized

I have had the time capsule for about 8 months with no issues, i have upgraded to 7.6.3 and along the way after several days of all working fine it disconnects and is not recognized anymore. Any ideas as to what to do.

In the short term.. just restart the TC.. pull out the power plug.. count to 10.. plug back again.
Fixes most problems now. If you continue having issues.. and you have to disconnect more than once every few days.. the first step is probably to downgrade the firmware.. back to 7.6.1 which was superior in most ways.
Not every firmware update should be accepted at face value. Downgrade is easy.. click the TC icon in airport utility.. select version with the option key held down.. select a prior firmware.. wait for downgrade to take place.

Time capsule not recognized by airport extreme - first time setup challenge

Air port utility not recognizing time capsule. We have airport extreme and time capsule (recent purchase to back up 2 wireless mac laptops and the G5 which is connected to the modem). Modem is conected to airport extreme and I connected the Time capsule via ethernet as I thought the speed would be 1GB and faster than wireless "n." Somehow now the airport extreme does not recognize the time capsule. In the network utility, airport is not listed, only ethernet and firewire. What steps should I take to enable time capsule to back up the laptops wirelessly as well as the G5 (non-wireless.) Thanks!

I would hold the reset button on the back of the Time Capsule for 5-10 seconds and I would wait to connect it to the AirPort Extreme to see if you can set it up. If you can access the Time Capsule with AirPort Utility then I would plug it into the AirPort Extreme and continue your setup.

Time capsule not recognizing internet connection

My Time Capsule is not recognizing the intenet connection from my isp. It is directly connected to my Comcast router. I can connect wirelessly to the Comcast router, but when I successfully connect to the TC, the airport utility shows that the internet connection is down. I have rebooted both the ISP router as well as the TC. is there help out there?
thanks,
John

I just rebooted both devices again at the same time rather than one after the other. It seems to have fixed my problem.
