Create CVI timestamp so that it appears in DIAdem as a timestamp

[jsmalley]

Is there a way to create TimeStamp data in CVI, then use the DDC function calls  to create TDM data such that DIAdem will see this data as a timestamp?  I had it working in LabVIEW but I'm not sure how to do it from CVI.

Due to the fact that the timestamp t(0) reference points are different in CVI and DIAdem, there is no easy way to generate a DIAdem timestamp from CVI.

I would recommend using the ANSI C date and time library functions to create a string representing the timestamp. Then you can port this string to DIAdem using the DDC library in CVI. The TTR function in DIAdem can then be used to turn this string value into a DIAdem timestamp.
