Time Stamp Does not update time

[Paul J S]

I'm using time stamp vi  in conjunction with date/time string formatter vi. For some reason the time stamp vi always output date of 12/31/03 and time of 17:00. The only time it works correctly is if I right click "Data Operation" on the time stamp vi and choose "Set Time To Now" feature does this even work. Any clues out there?

You need to link in Get Date/Time (sec) vi as an input to your format VI.

I am not aware of a "time stamp vi". Are you possibly trying to use a "Time stamp constant"? This is just a static diagram constant and contains whatever time you set.

As Joseph already said, to get the current time, you need to use "get Date/Time in seconds".
