setting time stamp as current time

Hello,
 
I want to get the current time as a time stamp like the bottom components in my vi. I thought the top would work but it only counts from 0 to 1.
 
Thank you

Hi Tim,
 
The Time elapsed express VI is a simple express VI that will pass out a True value once the requested amount of seconds has passed.  You do not need to pass a current time value, you can just wire in a 0 constant to make the express VI take the current time as the reference point.  After doing this, you would need to have this express VI in a while loop to actually have it count the amount of time that has elapsed.
