TIME

Action

Returns a time-value (String or 3 Byte for Second, Minute and Hour) depending of the Type of the Target

 

 

Syntax

bSecMinHour = Time(lSecOfDay)

bSecMinHour = Time(lSysSec)

bSecMinHour = Time(strTime)

 

strTime = Time(lSecOfDay)

strTime = Time(lSysSec)

strTime = Time(bSecMinHour)

 

 

Remarks

bSecMinHour	A BYTE – variable, which holds the Second-value followed by Minute (Byte) and Hour (Byte)
strTime	A Time – String in Format „hh:mm:ss"
lSecOfDay	A LONG – variable which holds Second Of Day (SecOfDay)
lSysSec	A LONG – variable which holds System Second (SysSec)

 

 

Converting to a time-string:

The target string strTime must have a length of at least 8 Bytes, otherwise SRAM after the target-string will be overwritten.

 

 

Converting to Softclock format (3 Bytes for Second, Minute and Hour):

Three Bytes for Seconds, Minutes and Hour must follow each other in SRAM. The variable-name of the first Byte, that one for Second must be passed to the function.

 

 Time not to be confused with Time$ !

Partial Example

Enable Interrupts
Config Clock = Soft
 
Dim Strtime As String * 8
Dim Bsec As Byte , Bmin As Byte , Bhour As Byte
Dim Lsecofday As Long
Dim Lsyssec As Long
 
 
' Example 1: Converting defined Clock - Bytes (Second / Minute / Hour) to Time - String
Bsec = 20 : Bmin = 1 : Bhour = 7
Strtime = Time(bsec)
Print "Time values: Sec=" ; Bsec ; " Min=" ; Bmin ; " Hour=" ; Bhour ; " converted to string " ; Strtime
' Time values: Sec=20 Min=1 Hour=7 converted to string 07:01:20
 
 
' Example 2: Converting System Second to Time - String
Lsyssec = 123456789
Strtime = Time(lsyssec)
Print "Time of Systemsecond " ; Lsyssec ; " is " ; Strtime
 
' Time of Systemsecond 123456789 is 21:33:09
 
 
' Example 3: Converting Second of Day to Time - String
Lsecofday = 12345
Strtime = Time(lsecofday)
Print "Time of Second of Day " ; Lsecofday ; " is " ; Strtime
' Time of Second of Day 12345 is 03:25:45
 
 
' Example 4: Converting System Second to defined Clock - Bytes (Second / Minute / Hour)
Lsyssec = 123456789
Bsec = Time(lsyssec)
Print "System Second " ; Lsyssec ; " converted to Sec=" ; Bsec ; " Min=" ; Bmin ; " Hour=" ; Bhour
 
' System Second 123456789 converted to Sec=9 Min=33 Hour=21
 
 
' Example 4: Converting Second of Day to defined Clock - Bytes (Second / Minute / Hour)
Lsecofday = 12345
Bsec = Time(lsecofday)
Print "Second of Day " ; Lsecofday ; " converted to Sec=" ; Bsec ; " Min=" ; Bmin ; " Hour=" ; Bhour
' Second of Day 12345 converted to Sec=45 Min=25 Hour=3
