This DateTime type should be equivalent to LabVIEW Timestamp.

 

Until now, LabVIEW Timestamp is considered as a string in TestStand which includes date and time formatting, depending on regional options.

It would be nice to have a universal Timestamp type in TestStand.  This is definitely something that is over-complicated.

 

Since LabVIEW and TestStand are both NI products, my vote would be to have TestStand use the same format as LabVIEW.  Determining the time between a LabVIEW timestamp and TestStand step start time should be as easy as subtracting two variables.
