Difference between two dates/times

[jgarciallamas]

Hi all,

Trying to work with date and time with this format:

mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss (This is the input I have)

What I would like to get:

Output = (date1/time1) - (date2/time2)

I have to find the way to get the difference between to dates/times and I'm not able to do it in Labview although I'm almost sure that it's possible.

Could you guide me a little bit, please?

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards.

Jose.

I use this programm to calculate the estimate time of finish of our measurement. It is no exactly what you want but may be you can get some ideas from it.

Hi Jose,

I'm assuming that this is a string input you're dealing with.

If so the 'Scan from String' and 'Date/Time To Seconds' functions can be used to obtain a numeric datetime. Attached vi (LV6.1) is variation of what I use. Convert the strings for the two times and then subtract.
