Datalogging: To display date/time in 1 variable

Post by rtackett » Wed Feb 06, 2013 10:48 am

Hello,
I would like to have a variable that contains all date/ time information. Presently, if a standard datalog is created, there are seperate variables for year, month, day, hour, minute, second. In the snapshot logger, this work is done. Can 1 variable be made available that has the date/time information?

Thanks,
Russell Tackett

Hello Russell,

There are already time and date variables in the database but they are string variables and the standard data logger can only record numeric variables.

What we need to do is add the timestamp to the standard datalogger similar to the snapshot logger so we have added that to the requested features for future versions of PowerVision Configuration Studio.

Thank you,
