To display exact Time And Date of Event occur

[mitesh]

Hi Mikhail,

I want to Display the exact date and time when event occurs. In Administrator i have selected channel type as hourly real. i am getting wrong date (30/12/1899) and time (00.00.00). Please help me to display exact date and time.

Ex: Event: High Temperature : 70°C
Date of Event Occur: 27/02/2019
Time of Event Occur : 10:35:40

Thank you.

Hi,

For example to display current time, set input channel type to Real and formula to EncodeDate(DateTime.Now) and format to Date and Time.

How to display time of event, I’m not sure. Probably you need a custom module that catches events and copy their time stamps to an input channel.

Hi Mikhail,

I am not getting anything after setting input channel type to Real and formula to EncodeDate(DateTime.Now) and format to Date and Time.

Thank you.

Hello Mikhail

I am trying to display Date and Time.
I set up an input channel for this type Real, formula EncodeDate(DateTime.Now) and format Date and Time. Please see image of Administrator:

I included a Dynamic Text with Scheme and assigned it to the corresponding input channel. I only get: “—“.

Am I missing something?

Thank you

Hi,
Switch channel type to Calculated Real and remove Signal.

Hi Mikhail,

Is it possible to display the DayOfWeek? I tried EncodeDate(DateTime.DayOfWeek) but it prompts “invalid argument”. It seems that enum constants cannot be converted to double ones.

Hi Mikhail,

I solved it based on your previous example. The return value 0-6 represents Sunday – Saturday. THX

int CheckDayOfWeek()
{
DateTime nowDT = DateTime.Now;
return (int)nowDT.DayOfWeek;
}

[Mikhail]

Good, thank you for the solution 🙂

Hi Mikhail,

According to your post
Link

I creat my own unit in the Units table, and then an input channel (calculated real) with the format “Enum text” and my own unit. Now the string value of DayOfWeek is displayed perfectly on the web page. THX a lot.
