How do I find the host computer's time, then find the seconds since 1/1/1970? Is there a function for this? thanks.

Or you could convert to a double so you get the fractional seconds as well.

Hi,

why not use this simple(r) approach?

I think the title is misleading. I think they were trying to convert to UNIX epoch time from LabVIEW epoch time.
