event structure "time"

[Intaris]

The time is the time when the event was triggered. If you trigger a user vent but wait an hour before passing it to an event structure, the timestamp will be an hour old. If you want the time when the event structure started handling it, just put a "Ms Timestamp" on the block diagram of the event frame.

@Intaris is correct. The simple, badly written VI illustrates that fact. All clocks based on same ms clock. The timestamps for the event occur before the Wait timestamp, showing they were generated before.
