bufferVar.seconds
This attribute contains the timestamp of a reading in seconds, in UTC format.
Type TSP-Link accessible Affected by Where saved Default value

Usage
nonFracSeconds = bufferVar.seconds[N]
The nonfractional seconds portion of the timestamp when the reading was stored
The name of the reading buffer, which may be a default buffer (defbuffer1 or
defbuffer2
) or a user-defined buffer
The reading number N; can be any value from 1 to the number of readings in the
buffer; use the bufferVar.n command to determine the number of readings in the
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
testData = buffer.make(50)
trigger.model.load("SimpleLoop", 6, 0,
testData)
trigger.model.initiate()
waitcomplete()
printbuffer(1, 6, testData.seconds)
Create a reading buffer named testData,
configure the instrument to make six
measurements, and store the readings in
the buffer.
Print the seconds portion for readings 1 to 6
in testData.
Example output:
1362261492, 1362261492,
1362261493, 1362261493,
