Using the hour out of the timestamp to drive a case structure.

What are your values for the case selector labelin the case structure?

It's a snippet.  So you can drag that image into your block diagram and have the actual code.

But it is 0 to 11  "0..11" (midnight to noon)

12 to 17  (noon to 6 pm)

and Default (thus 6 pm to midnight)

This takes advantage of the fact that 11:59:59 am is still in the 11th hour and 5:59:59 pm is still in the 17th hour.
