Time stamps to string with seconds

Good Day
Im writing a program for my DAQ system. Its required that my
data is saved with hours, mins and secs. The get date/time
string VI seems to only output a string with the date and with
hours and minutes.
How would I include the seconds into the outputed string.
Thank You for your time.

The vi has an boolean input 'want seconds' default is FALSE. Wire a TRUE and your done
For a more flexible output there is also the
Format Date/Time String Function
Owning Palette: String Functions
Requires: Base Package
Displays a timestamp value or a numeric value as time in the format you specify using time format codes. For example, %c displays locale-specific date/time. Time-related format codes include the following: %X (locale-specific time), %H (hour, 24-hour clock), %I (hour, 12-hour clock), %M (minute), %S (second), %<digit>u (fractional seconds with <digit> precision), and %p (a.m./p.m. flag). Date-related format codes include the following: %x (locale-specific date), %y (year within century), %Y (year including century), %m (month number), %b (abbreviated month name), %d (day of month), and %a (abbreviated weekday name).

Converting a Labview time into a string with Measurement Studio C++

In my Measurement Studio-based C++ application, I'll be sent a Labview
time in the format of a double, which I believe is seconds since 1904.
Does Measurement Studio for Visual C++ contain a function that will
convert that time value into a string format? I'd like to end up with
something like "hh:mm:ss:msec". I'm basically looking for the
equivalent of the Labview vi, "Format Time/Date String". If Measurement
Studio doesn't provide this, is there some other (hopefully simple) way
to do this?
I can request that the Labview application send me time in a string
format as well as a double; this will require several changes to the
Labview application sending the timestamp, but if that is a simpler
solution that's the option we'll take.
Thanks in advance,
Adam

Measurement Studio does not have a function for this, but you can do
this yourself by first converting from LV epoch (1/1/1904) to Unix
epoch(1/1/1970) and then using c runtime time functions
UNIXEpochOffset is the difference between the 2 epochs at GMT. To
convert to a UNIX system clock value, just subtract the sum of this
number and your time zone offset in seconds
lvTime is the value returned by LV timestamp
#define UNIXEpochOffset 2082844800
int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
    __int64 lvTime = 3214396284; //10:48:13.173 AM 11/9/2005
    //GMT offset for Central Time is -6 (3600 seconds). You will need to account for daylight savings time.
    int offset = -3600;
    time_t unixTime = lvTime - UNIXEpochOffset - offset;
    struct tm *newtime = localtime(&unixTime);
    printf(asctime( newtime )); //prints out the time in a string format.
    return 0;

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.

Convert Time Stamp to String

What is the most efficienct way to convert a Time Stamp Control to a MM/DD/YYYY string? I am going to use its output as date parameters to a WHERE clause to a SQL Server query.
Solved!

Well, what is the output? Do you foresee a problem? The LabVIEW Help is quite clear on the format. The very first sentence of the Help file for the Format Date Time String provide a link to the codes: http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361H-01/glang/codes_for_time_format_str/

Converting time stamp in waveform to seconds

Hello,
I would like to convert the time stamp in a waveform (coming from 'AI Sample Channel') into seconds. Currently when I read the waveform into a file I get a format that looks like
18:00:47.453000
Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated, it seems like this should be easy to do?
Thanks,
Cullen

In the attached example, I compare converting the datestamp to seconds by converting to double, to extended precision and doing a delta directly on the timestamp iteself (then converting).
Running the VI showed the same results (using Win-XP) for all three cases. Unless you have a better OS, then the top example would probably do.
At least the example will show you how to convert to seconds (in 50ms steps for the example), and how to do it using the array directly (polymorphic functions).
Hope it helps,

What is the easiest way to get time stamped wvm data with AI samp Ch Vi?

The AI sample channel VI only outputs single point waveform data which is making it a beast for me to get my input data into XY graphs. I have been trying to combine the data with a elapsed time clcok so I can synchronize all my inputs but it isnt working too great. All this stuff is in a while loop also, so that gives me trouble. Basically I just want to make an XY graph from both AI inputs.

PID_Control_LoopII.vi ‏326 KB

Tim, no problem. I have attached the modified code that displays the readings from both devices on the same plot. I used a chart instead of an XY graph since it is much easier to use (it keeps track of elapsed time for you if you know the amount of time in between data points - and since the loop time is fixed we do know that). If this time were to change, then we would have to re-create the X-axis (time) and the XY graph would be necessary. One other note - the code that reads the values from the DAQ cards will not execute at exactly the same time, therefore the data will not be acquired at exactly the same time, though it will be close. Therefore, if your application requires these readings to be dead on together in time down to the mi
crosecond for example, then you would have to synch the two devices via hardware. Let me know if you intend to do that and I can steer you in the right direction. Hope this helps.

GMT time stamps interfere with calendar in 8.1.2

How do I prevent GMT time stamps from interfering with my calendars? This did not occur until I upgraded to OS 8.1.2
I sync an iPod touch 5th generation with google calendars, and have done so with this device for over a year, and on a generation 3 device for four years - all without hassle.
Since upgrading to 8.1.2 my calendar is suddenly very difficult to use.

Hi All,
I am trying to develop JSP client for a conversational webservice. I amtrying
it in two ways and
none of them is working.
1)
I have put the Java Proxy file generated by Weblogic Workshop for myWebservice
in the lib
directory of the web application. According to article posted in "DearJohn" series,
my proxy
must have methods that take one additional argument to pass in Header infoapart
from all
the arguments mentioned by me. But, I don't see any methods like this inmy proxy
and
corresponding stub.
2)
Other suggested method is to use Webservices Control. In this, I amsetting a
string as
Conversation ID when I invoke a method that is marked to startconversation. Further,
if I
invoke any other method marked Continue in the same JSP it works. But,from another
JSP
where I set the same conversation ID and then try to call a method markedas Continue,
it does not work. It say, check whether you have start a conversation. Ican see
my conversation
in Test browser and I am calling continue method before max-idle-time.
I am not sure which step I am missing. Help Required!!!
Thanks in advance,
Sushil

"STORED" Time On Texts With One Hour Earlier Time Wedged Between The Two Eastern Time Stamps.

The middle time stamp would coincide with Central Time, but it is not labeled as such. If that is what it represents, then it shouldn't
be on my texts since eastern Tennessee and Georgia are in the Eastern Time Zone.

budone wrote:
budone,
In the last two days there has been a change in the format of my text messages. Previously, the texts simply had a time stamp given in Eastern Time. NOW, this is followed with the date and AM or PM time, but the time is one hour earlier and NO Time Zone notation given. Then it says, 'Stored' with a time stamp matching the date and time given in the line designated as "Eastern."
Surely, there are others who have experienced this. I hope this clears the explanation up some.

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?

How to write time stamp to a file

Hi,
I'm using LabVIEW 8.2 and for my simulations purpose I've to store my data with time stamp (seconds having 6 digit precision ) in a text file.
I'm using get time vi to get the time of the host computer on a 6 point precision (which I've attached also). My problem is I'm unable to convert this time stamp into string which can be written to text file directly. I would prefer to avoid the "unbundle cluster" which gives me individual elements (like seconds,date,time,year,day of the year, etc) and them convert each of them into a string.
Looking to hear from any one of you soon,
Regards

get time.vi ‏14 KB

Hi Roiht
You will never achieve 6 digits precision with the "get date/ time i seconds function" Perhaps 1 if you are lucky. But you can convert the time to string using the "format data/time string" function. You find it in the same palette as the other time functions.
Besides which, my opinion is that Express VIs Carthage must be destroyed deleted
(Sorry no Labview "brag list" so far)

I can use write spreadsheet to have the three numeric tempdata but the last column formatted as time stamp and string
how do I add time stamp to my data and call the spreadsheet write VI to append to the excel file ?

Solved!
Go to Solution.

You have at least two possibilities: One is to do the formatting yourself with string functions and write the data as a text file or an array of strings.
Another is to convert the timestamp to a Double and save it as numeric data. This is only useful if your are going to read the data back into LV and analyze it there, because Excel's numeric representation of date and time is different from that used by LV.

Time stamp to number conversion

Hi All,
I notice in Labview 7.0 the 'Get Date/Time to Seconds' and 'Seconds to Date/Time' now output a Time Stamp rather than actual seconds.
There is a 'To Time Stamp" standard vi in the conversion pallet that converts a number (seconds) to a time stamp but I really need to convert from a Time Stamp to real seconds.
Does anyone have a vi that might do this or is there something already in LabVIEW 7.0 I have overlooked?
Many Thanks in Advance for your help.
Sammy Mason

You are going to have to post an example where the conversion does not work.
