time/date string to timestamp

[GerdW]

Hi John,

and why do you mark your answer as solution then?

Gerd,

I know this is an old post, but how did you get the timestamp in that cluster format?

Look in the timing palette.  You will find a Rec Time to Timestamp and visa versa.  I don't have LabVIEW with me, so I'm a little shakey on the exact wording of the funtion.  Anyways, those functions will convert a huge cluster with month, day, year, DST?, seconds, fractional sections, etc. into a timestamp and back again.  You can right click on one of those inputs/outputs and create a constant.

Maybe my pallettes are messed up.  I have a number to timestamp and date/time to string, but I can't find anything that uses that cluster.

use the quickdrop and search for "Date/Time To Seconds"

Hi Imtis,

your "Time" palette should look like that:

Use the marked function...

Thank you Gerd.
