I need to get my formatted time stamp (which includes down to the millisecond) into a double format. I've been using scan from string. No matter what formatting I use, the double number is always truncated and only displays a reolution of a tenth of a second. I need my date/time string in DBL format becuase I need to append it to an array of other DBL numbers which is being written to a .csv file. So it can't be in string format (unless theres some way to write both to a .csv file) What can I do to get the respresentaion correct?

@Snow_In_Tehran wrote: Thanks, that takes care of displaying it on the front panel. However, how to I get it so that such a representation is passed out of the function to I can write it to my data file? The DBL that it outputs is still only to a tenth of a second format. Well that completely depends on the format string you are using for when you are creating your CSV. You probably want something like "%.6f" for you format.
