Time Stamp Controls and Indicators (PDA Module, Touch Panel Module)
Use the time stamp control and indicator to use, view, and store absolute time with high precision.
The PDA Module and the Touch Panel Module support the time stamp control differently than LabVIEW for Windows.
Minimum and Maximum Time Values
Windows Mobile and Windows CE have a minimum time value of 00:00:01 a.m., Friday, January 1, 1904 Universal Time. The maximum time value is 06:28:15 a.m., Monday, February 6, 2040 Universal Time.
If a date is outside of the minimum and maximum range, you receive an error. This is different than LabVIEW for Windows, which rolls over the value.
Editing Modes
The editing mode sets whether to edit the format and precision of the data using the default view or using format codes. You select the editing mode on the Format and Precision tab in the Time Stamp Properties dialog box.
Default Editing Mode
Time stamp controls in PDA and Touch Panel VIs support the Absolute time default format only.
Advanced Editing Mode
Use %<%.3X> to display the time with three digits of precision after seconds, %<%.4X> to display the time with four digits of precision, and so on.
