If you use xml report format, start time and end time for every step is in the xml report by default.

I am using ascii text, with on-the-fly enable. 

I am aware there is a test duration option. What I am looking for is the variable that holds start time in teststand.

Something like: RunState.????.????

You can create report in multiple formats.

In xml format, you will have something like:

    .... name = "your step name" startDateTime = "2026-06-30T10:38:46.201" endDateTime = "2026-06-30T10:38:46.201" testReferenceID="your step unique id"

for every step.
