Time Convert Simulation to Local

The Time Convert Local to Simulation function will write the date to a specified variable (number). The format of the date will be in a local clock time number. This number is the number of days since 01-01-1900 (this is the standard way that the clock in Windows works). This means that 22nd August 2008 is represented by the value 39682.

Parameters

• Simulation Time - Simulation clock time to be converted
• Returned local datetime number - Global Data Item that receives the datetime number

Comments
