creat a time indicater

[青风细雨楼]

I want to creat a timer to indicate my VI running time since I click the "start" bottun. the timer may be like following format.

HH : Min: SEC.

120: 51: 12

this data means my VI has run 120 hours and 51 minitues...

Any help is appreciate.

You can use the timestamp functions to do so.

Check the Time & Dialog pallette to see what fits your requirement.

Thank you ,

I checked this pallete but I did not find the solution.

Can you make a simple sample for me?

Thanks.

You just need to use the elapsed time function. Set the auto reset to false and then wire up a string indicator to the Elapsed Time Text output or a numeric indicator to the Elapsed Time (s) output. If you use a numeric indicator, set the display format to absolute time.
