I added the timeStamp to the structure:

epics@aaV:~$ pvinfo FHIFEL:llpg_1
FHIFEL:llpg_1
Server: 141.14.134.173:5075
Type:
    structure
        ushort Ch1_Width
        ushort Ch2_Width
        ushort Ch1_Delay
        ushort Ch2_Delay
        ushort Ch1_ExtraDly
        ushort Ch2_ExtraDly
        ushort Ch1_Atten
        ushort Ch2_Atten
        structure timeStamp
            long secondsPastEpoch
            uint nanoseconds
            uint userTag


pvmonitor seems to work:

epics@aaV:~$ pvmonitor FHIFEL:llpg_1
FHIFEL:llpg_1 structure
    ushort Ch1_Width 0
    ushort Ch2_Width 1122
    ushort Ch1_Delay 946
    ushort Ch2_Delay 1342
    ushort Ch1_ExtraDly 10000
    ushort Ch2_ExtraDly 2000
    ushort Ch1_Atten 3
    ushort Ch2_Atten 31
    structure timeStamp
        long secondsPastEpoch 1147446330
        uint nanoseconds 448787927
        uint userTag 0
FHIFEL:llpg_1 structure
    ushort Ch1_Atten 4
    structure timeStamp
        long secondsPastEpoch 1147446570
        uint nanoseconds 69449424
FHIFEL:llpg_1 structure
    ushort Ch1_Atten 3
    structure timeStamp
        long secondsPastEpoch 1147446572
        uint nanoseconds 722922325

Unfortunately, however, the PV is not archived:
