Using Real Time in LabVIEW

[Wessam-G]

Hi Everyone,
So am trying to use the Time of the Laptop in my labVIEW code, I need it as a input for example (From 0 up tell 24) to indicate Time.
Am using Fuzzy Logic so I have a Membership function as Time thats why I need it... So I need to know it its possible to use My laptop time as input? If not what is the best solution?

Thanks

Yes it is possible. Please check these and use any of these to get your system date and time.

Thank you very much, I think I understand it now if I have any problem I will write again

Are you trying to export the time from your laptop to an RT target, or is this strictly for use on your laptop?

Am trying to use time as (Number) input to my Fuzzy Logic System, i maneged to get the time from my laptop as udka said, but i got it as string 😕 i need them as Numbers only like from (0 to 24)

EDIT: i figierd it out , i was able to use the number from the string and have it as a input value using (Scan Value).
