Time stamp with 0 as time

[ASTDan]

Hello,

 I am developing a program to search by date.  I am using the time stamp control.  The problem is when I select a date it outputs the current time as well.

How do I set the time to 0?

Thanks

Time = 0 has a special meaning.  It is the epoch for LabVIEW which is Jan 1, 1904 Midnight GMT.

What do you want time = 0 to mean for you?

You can edit the display format properties for time stamp controls to turn off the time or date from being displayed.  You can also set a double numeric indicator to show times and dates as well.

There are a couple of functions in the Timing palette you should have a look at.  They convert a timestamp into a cluster and back.  You can just set the time in that cluster.

That did the trick.  I did find I have to set the hour to 1 to get 12:00 AM setting it to 0 it thought it was the day before.

Thanks!

That sounds like a Time Zone issue.  I know there are options in there for UTC or not.  Might want to make sure those are set to not be UTC.

Thanks for the tip.

I set UTC to True and was able to set the hour to 0

Thanks so much!
