show current time on front panel?

[atomicalex]

I would like to have the the current time and date displayed on the front panel. I have placed a timestamp indicator, but haven't figured out how to reset the timestamp each loop cycle. Any advice?

I'm using LV7.

Thanks!

aa.

all you have to do if you want to show the user the time is put the getdatetime.vi in a while loop by itself in parallel with any other loops you may have. and if you have other while loops already just use a local variable of one of the other while loops for the stop condition.

see attached vi for example of this
