Converting Number of Seconds to Elapsed Time string

[ExamplePrograms]

In LabVIEW, the time/date functions return an unsigned integer for the number of seconds that have elapsed since 12:00 AM Friday, January 1, 1904 Universal Time. The time/date functions that convert seconds to a data or time format are meant to be used with this integer value. This example converts a number of seconds to a similar string format, but for a relative period of time.

For example, a value of 65 to the time/date functions is interpreted as the time/date 65 seconds after 12:00 AM Friday, January 1, 1904. In this example, the number 65 is interpreted as 1 minute and 5 seconds, displayed "00:01:05". The format of the output string is as follows:

[days] HH:MM:SS

The VI displays the number of days only if the time period is greater than 24 hours.
