Timestamp application

[siva1]

In my application, I have a predefined time and date format along with a time value in seconds. With these inputs, I need to display the actual time and date. How can i implement the idea? Please provide the logic.

Reference:

Date format: 1950/01/01

Time format: 00:00:00

Time value in seconds given by a 32bit register: 86461 (24*60*60 = 1day 1min 1sec)

If inputs are as shown, then the output to be displayed is 1950/01/02 00:01:01

Use a timestamp with your start date (january first 1950) and use a normal 'Add'  function with the U32, the output will be timestamp at the correct moment.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply..

But there is a problem in your solution. How can we represent the correct date including 30-day month, 31-day month etc...???

Could you post your code?

To me it sounds like you didin't understande me, since the timestamp deals with the representation of the date.

Hi,

I dont have any code for this. I think i need to implement a calendar for this purpose. Please see the example:

Predefined Date : 2010/01/01

Predefined Time : 00:00:00

Register value : 5184000

Output timestamp value should be 2010/03/02 00:00:00

You should at least try the timestamp idea. It does everything you have explained

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

When i change the time in the timestamp constant to 00:00:00, it automatically changes to 05:29:59. Why it is so? How can i fix the time to 00:00:00?

Shiva

It doesn't in my example. Are you using that? If you are using your own, did you change the display format to custom? To 24 hr?

[siva1]

I am using your example only & not changed any settings. Right click and select Set time and date, and update the time to 00:00:00 and date to 1970/01/01. The time is changing...

It does not do it for me. I'm actually running 2010. Or perhaps it's due to a regional setting. Vac you change the year by just typing it in the control?
