Time()

Description

The Time function returns the time (in seconds) the station has been on, as a number (float). It is basically a stopwatch that starts when the grandMA3 application starts. It is not the current time of day or the session online time.

Arguments

This function does not accept any arguments.

Return

• Number:
  The returned number (float) is the on-time for the station.

Example

This example finds, formats, and prints the time.

return function()
    -- Get the current time
    local time = Time()

    --Calculate the different elements
    local days = math.floor(time/86400)
    local hours = math.floor((time % 86400)/3600)
    local minutes = math.floor((time % 3600)/60)
    local seconds = math.floor(time % 60)

    --Print the result
    Printf("The time is %d:%02d:%02d:%02d", days, hours, minutes, seconds)
end
