LabVIEW
Time Stamp Date incorrect
hi,
Im trying to capture the date time values from the measurement file recorded in famos format. Ive converted the time stamp values in double format and wired it to save to spread sheet. but the values showing up are starting from AM 5.30 1-1-1904. the difference between two time stamp is correct but the starting value is not as actual in the measurement file. Is there anyway to find the actual date and time.
can you put a probe on the data before you write it to the spreadsheet file? Do a screen capture of it so we can see what you are getting. 12:00AM 1-1-1904 UTC is the clock starting date for LabVIEW representing a 0 in the time stamp. Depending on what is stored that may be what you are getting, with either an offset for your timezone. Timestamps are funny things in LabVIEW and other languages. UNIX derived O/S's use 1-1-1970 for their "time-zero".
