Would it be possible to use Seconds(true)? This gives you the time since the TestStand Engine was initialized.
Alternatively, you could use Seconds(False) and save that value to a variable (local, fileglobal, or stationglobal)? Then, in any step where you want to compare to the start time, use "Seconds(False)" again and compare it to your saved value. Seconds(false) gives you Unix time.

I don't know of any reason why you would receive a runtime error or not be able to use SecondsSinceStart for more than a day. I suspect the issue is not with that property. If you have code that reproduces a runtime error with SecondsSinceStart, please post it.

Hello Eder22 good afternoongured
I would suggest that you use a new thread to create a timer, for example in LabVIEW and then put a wait configured to wait for that timer and then you won't have the problem with the seconds() function.
You can find an example of this in the following path:
C:\Users\Public\Documents\National Instruments\TestStand 2014 (32-bit)\Examples\Parallel Testing\Executing Sequences In Parallel\Executing Sequences In Parallel.seq
I hope that you find this information useful,
Best Regards,
