Lapsed time incorrect format on seconds

[frn]

Hi,

The attached VI keeps tract of elapsed time and I am having a problem with the format in the seconds section. It gives me 3 digits and does not count the seconds correctly.

I would like to have only 2 digits for the seconds and count correctly as 01, 02 .. 09, 10, 11, . . . 59  (seconds section).  

Could someone suggest a change to attached VI?

Thanks,

frn

The reason you are not seeing the right number is that the value you get out of the last Quotient & Remainder Function is NOT the seconds, but MILIseconds.

Add one more Quotient & Remainder with a 1000 as y. Then take the floor(x/y) as your seconds.

If you do not need a string output, consider subtracting timestamps and formatting the numeric display of the difference as Relative Time.

Thanks Lynn for your input, but I need string as an output.
