[*LJ]

Dear all LabView Superusers,

I would like to know how to add five minutes to the time stamp, is it possible?. Prior thanks for the help.

Do you mean that you want to shift/ increment a signal/waveform's start time ( t0) by 5 minutes??

Hi Lee,

take a timestamp, wire it to an add function. Create a numeric constant, set value to 300 (=5*60s), wire it also to the add functin. The result will be a timestamp with added 5mins

Dear all,

I have found another solution for this. See attached :-), but the solution from TonP is much more simple. Thanks.

Hi LJ,

your solution works - but belongs to the Rube Goldberg section

It's just unneccessary to convert the timestamp to a date/time record, do the adding and convert back to timestamp when you also can add to the timestamp directly!

Just for fun, you can also display the units for the constant, and set the unit to be "min".
