Andrew,
I'm using Ned Arnold's devTimeOfDay.c device support, which gets the current time into an ai or
a stringin record, for this purpose:


record(ai, "$(P)history$(N)_secsPastEpoch") {
  field(DTYP, "Sec Past Epoch")
}

There's a copy in the synApps std module.

Hey guys,

I have a Calcout record that needs to calculate the time between its present and previous processing. How can I best accomplish this? Searching the tech-talk forum I've found that there is DTYP, "Soft Timestamp" which I suppose gets the system time. I would like to compute the time difference in seconds so is it possible to create an AI record

record(ai, "TIme") {
   field(DESC, "System Time")
   field(DTYP, "Soft Timestamp")
   field(INP, "%s")
}

that gets seconds since the epoc I can use as an input to Calcout record?

Cheers,

Andrew
