How to get master controller's time?

arunmohan

We can use the following command to set the controller's time

SEND_COMMAND 0,"'CLOCK 04-12-05 09:45:31'"

Also there is one command to get the time from controller, "time_to_hour" and "time_to_minute".
When I tried to display the time using another variable, I'm getting some symbols.

The way did is as follows. Is it correct or can anyone suggest me another method

ClockHour=time_to_hour(Time)
ClockMinute=time_to_minute(Time)

It sounds like you are trying to display an integer in which case you’ll need to convert that integer to an ASCII representation first by using ITOA() or FORMAT().

For example:

DEFINE_DEVICE

dvTP = 10001:1:0

DEFINE_VARIABLE _

VOLATILE SINTEGER ClockHour
VOLATILE SINTEGER ClockMinute

DEFINE_EVENT

BUTTON_EVENT[dvTP,1] {

   PUSH: {

      ClockHour=time_to_hour(Time)
      ClockMinute=time_to_minute(Time)

      IF (ClockMinute=1) {
	 SEND_COMMAND dvTP,"'^TXT-1,0,It is 1 minute past the hour of ',ITOA(ClockHour)"
      }
      ELSE {      
	 SEND_COMMAND dvTP,"'^TXT-1,0,It is ',ITOA(ClockMinute), ' minutes past the hour of ',ITOA(ClockHour)"
      }
      
   }

}
