Not exactly. I work 60 hours+ each week so answering questions on this board isn't always my first priority.

I'm also thinking about the best way to help you.

Lets take your date format problem. Did you read the Detailed Help on the Get Date/Time String Function? If you did, you should have read the description of the Date Format input.

It says:

Date format selects the appearance of the date string. Date formats vary with your system configuration. To use a different date format, use the Format Date/Time String function.

So a simple check of the help system would at least get you to the right function. If you still have trouble after going through the help and trying to set up the format string, then ask questions.

As far as how to modify your code to use an event structure, I'd really like to see you give it a try rather than just give you a solution. I'm not trying to be mean, but if you want people to invest some of their valuable time, then you should be willing to do the same.

If you don't know enough about event structures to even get started, then I suggest that you:

Read the Detailed help
Take some of the free online tutorials
Do a search on the board for event structures

Make a simple example and try to make changes to it

Performing these tasks (especially the tutorials) will save you tons of time in the long run and will help you get better at finding answers.

And when you get stuck, people on here are happy to help.

You should add an event case for a value change event of the stop-button:
