bufferVar.seconds

This attribute contains the timestamp of a reading in seconds, in UTC format.
Type TSP-Link accessible
Attribute (R) Yes
Usage
nonFracSeconds = bufferVar.seconds[N]
nonFracSeconds
bufferVar
N
Details
This attribute contains the nonfractional seconds portion of the timestamp when the reading was
stored in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) format.
The nonfractional seconds portion of the timestamp gives the lowest resolution down to 1 second. To
access additional resolution of a timestamp, see bufferVar.fractionalseconds.
Example
reset()
testData = buffer.make(50)
trigger.model.load("SimpleLoop", 6, 0,
testData)
trigger.model.initiate()
waitcomplete()
printbuffer(1, 6, testData.seconds)
