How to display a Linux Time Stamp?

Dominique Bodart [DevOps Member]693 18th July 2023 0 Comments

Hi,

An API send me back information with Linux format time stamp as 32 bits Unsigned Integer like:

1689690756 which means "2023-07-18 14:32:36 UTC".  In the parameter to retrieve that value, I set "Measurment" as follow:

<Measurement>
<Type options="time">number</Type>
</Measurement>

And the result is: "19556 days 14h 32m 36s". So, its ok for the hours but not for the date. I couldn't find any reference to Linux time in the "SLC_UM_DataMinerDevelopmentLibrary_REV030" manual. So, is there a way to handle linux time in parameters and translate them properly without going through a QAction which could do the job?

Hi Dominique,

I don't think it's possible to use the epoch time without going through a QAction.
There is a measurement option datetime, but that option expects an OAdate double value.
