Display elapsed time?

[Christopher Hodge]

Hi,
This seems like it should be a simple matter. I want to display elapsed
time for the execution of the loop. I have two "Get date/time in seconds",
one outside the loop and one inside. In the loop, I subtract the outside
from the inside, and get elaspsed time for the loop. THis works fine-- my
saved data has the correct time values. However, I have an indicator wired
to this difference, and I have chosen time format to get a HH:MM:SS
display.
The problem is, it displays relative to GMT! So, instead of starting at
00:00:00, it starts at 19:00:00.

Is there a simple fix for this? I tried adding the appropriate number to
the value to get the display to zero at start, but this needs to be
changed every time daylight savings tim
e comes or goes.

thanks

Hello!

Try to change "Regional settings" under "Control Panel" in Windows!

Don't you mean "Date/Time properties"? I looked into this after I saw your
reply, and it looks like it could work. But I didn't see any likely
options in "regional options". Did I miss something?

thanks,

Did you choose Absolute time or Relative time. The relative
time takes a numeric count of seconds and displys it as elapsed.
No months, days, etc.
