    The formula in the channel – DateTime.Now.ToOADate()
    Format channel is Date, Time or Date and Time

    Thanks Manjey,

    I dont fully understand how to use that…. which channel do I use to run this formula?

    Do I create a channel to the PC so I can insert the formula in that channel? I want to use the system date and time from the PC… How do I get a channel for it?

    Regards,

    Hi,
    You should create a new input channel of the Calculated type and use the above formula for it.
