Convert Seconds to Hours:Minutes:Seconds

[nyxynyx]

If I have an integer holding the number of seconds, how can I convert it into a string/relavant format in the form Hours:Minutes:Seconds?

For example, 123 seconds should be 00:02:03.

If it is possible to do the above, then how can I seperate it into 00 Hours indicator, 02 Minutes indicator and 03 Seconds indicator?

You can do that manually. For one of my project I have made the calculation to convert the seconds to time. This will convert the seconds into to only Hours Minutes and seconds and not into the actual time format.

Good luck

Here are some alternative solutions, there are many more. (VI is LabVIEW 8.2)

Optimization ends here.

But this will convert the hours to days once it exceeds 24. Also you don't have to convert you can wire the seconds directly.

Here's another way to do it.  Format you DBL indicator to display absolute or relative time.

And Wayne's can be simpler if you dont mind the coercion dot. 😄

It does however have a 1 hour add, causing 123 to turn into 01:01:59

Keep it as relative time and you don't.  I'm thinking the Absolute Time will get adjusted due to time zones.  Mine is showing 19:02:03 when set to absolute time (Eastern Time = -5 from GMT).

Altenbach already did it the absolute simplest way to do it.  Format an Integer indicator to display time.  I added the DBL version just to remind people that you can do the same with a DBL as well. You can also get fractions of a second as well if dealing with a true timestamp.
