setting time stamp as current time

[Timkd]

Hello,

I want to get the current time as a time stamp like the bottom components in my vi. I thought the top would work but it only counts from 0 to 1.

Thank you

Get date Time in seconds should work.

It doesn't work because you change it to an I64, you should convert to DBL
But you shouldn't set the Start time every iteration, something like this should better work.

Thank you, I will try this and post again if I have any more questions

I am fairly new to Labview and am not sure what the circular component connected to the OR gate is or what the arrow on the outside of the diagram mean.

Thank you for your help

Hi Timkd,

that's called first call?
It returns true if it is the first time a piece of code is called.

I found the components but is is not outputing the expired time did I miss something?

The top input of the subtraction block needs to be tied to the current time, not the output of the select block.  Right now, unless you hit reset, you're subtracting a number from itself.

It works now. Thank you TonP and JeffOvert...
