Comparing the actual time in teststand

[rsmrostov]

I want to set a volume on my DUT based on the time of the day:

 I set a Locals.CurrentTime = Time()

Well if I put the if statement:

Locals.CurrentTime >= "6:00:00 AM" && Locals.CurrentTime <= "6:00:00 PM"

and the time is 7:00 AM - this statement returns false....

Can someone clarify how to do this?

One way would be to get the hours and minutes of the day and then compare to the minutes since midnight.

Time(True,Locals.hour,Locals.minute)

Locals.MinutesSinceMidnight=Locals.hour*60+Locals.minute

Locals.TimeGood=Locals.MinutesSinceMidnight>=360 && Locals.MinutesSinceMidnight<=1080

You could change this to do seconds since midnight.
