Get a new Start Time using Elapsed Time express vi in While loop

[clew]

I am using the Elapsed Time express VI in a while loop and would like Get Start Time to be updated with every iteration of the while loop. Currently, the vi only outputs one start time: when the express VI first ran.

The start time is the time that Express VI first ran. If you reset the Express VI, it resets the start time, but barring that, you will get the first time that Express VI ran.

I think you are looking for the present time (Present (s) and Present Text). This should be the current system time when the Express VI is run.

I hope that this helps,
