How many bytes are in the Time Stamp Constant?

How many bytes are in the time stamp constant found here:

http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361B-01/glang/timestamp_constant/

I am reading data from a file and want to know how many samples I have based on file size.  Since this file also contains this time stamp, I must subtract off its size.

Hi,

Sorry, but I think the answer is 36 

As you can see in the picture a timestamp cluster contains 9 long integers.

If you wire such a VI you can also see in the file that a single timestamp is 36 bytes long.

I get a different answer (16) but I think I'm using a different type of structure.

Nice to see that we are both right

My example is in LV7 (was running at that time)

Yours is in LV8

There is also a VI for the conversion. When I open my VI in 8.2 the VI is added automatically
