Time duration numeric format

[Gys van Zyl]

Hi all,

I want to format a number in seconds as a time duration (hh:mm:ss). It must
not be formatted as an absolute time, therefore a number of zero should not
give "02:00:05" in the formatted output. It is a duration, therefore a
number of 40 (seconds) should be formatted as "00:00:40", 70 should be
"00:01:10", etc. I want to use this in a control on the front panel to
input a time duration.

Is this possible in LabVIEW? Any sugestions?

Two solutions come to mind, illustrated in the attachement.

Good luck.

Look at using the format called Relative Time.

Thanks,

I can't believe I missed it. I kept looking for settings under "Date &
Time" format!
