Hi all.
I'm using streamDevice to read string data from a device, and one of the
data that it returns is the Unix Epoch time as a floating point value in
ASCII string format:
TIME_NOW:1522335837.961008
I would like to be able to translate this to a more human readable
format. Is there any built-in function in an IOC (3.14.12.5 right now)
that I can use to do the conversion? Or, does anyone have a set of
reliable CALC record expressions that can be used to get me something
like YY:MM:DD-hh:mm:ss in any displayable format? I know the formula to
do this has all sorts of quirky exceptions and so on, so I'd like to
avoid trying to roll my own if I can avoid it, especially if the
facility to do it already exists.
Thanks.
