How to compute time between date/time stamps


Recommended Posts

The timestamp is essentially the number of seconds since January 1904 in DBL representation, so you can substract one timestamp from the other and then divide the result by 86400, 3600 or 60 to get what you want.

And what would be the way of dealing with timestamp in text format?

If you mean that your timestamps are in strings, then you will need to convert them to LV timestamps by breaking the strings into their different parts, converting those parts to numbers, wiring those numbers into a date/time cluster and converting that cluster to a timestamp. The basic VIs can be found in the Time & Dialog palette. A nice example of how this can be done can be found here.
