Just to confirm I am grabbing the timestamp from other records by this method

 

I have Record A getting timestamp from sys clock TSE=0

 

Then Record B and Record C have field (TSEL, “RecordA.TIME”)

 

It seems to work properly as all the timestamps match.

 

 

Partial success so far, I was able to get the TSEL to grab the timestamp from another record that was set by TSE default 0 (sys clock I think this is?).  When I set TSE to -2 can you not write to the TIME field of a record like this

 

Caput mydevice:abc.TIME 2020-12-14 14:38:49.021827

 

I was hoping to simulate my digitizer setting the timestamp in my waveform record TIME field.

 

 

Thank you both for the insight, it seems best for us to go a similar path of using TSEL to copy the timestamp from the digitizer to each of our waveform records and using TSE set to -2 to stop the IOC from overwriting the time field (please correct me if I am wrong on this). I think I just need to understand the best way to get the first timestamp and then use TSEL to pass it along to the other records.

 

Ralph when you stated to have the digitizer send the timestamp with the data, would I just have my digitizer set the TIME field in the waveform record then?
