Time interval

[petrbury]

Hi,
I have a problem with counting the time interval. I'm trying to count, how much time is between two events in my software, but I'm not succesful.
For example in this code

        TimeFormat("hh:mm:ss")
Time1 = "09:00:00"
Time2 = "09:00:06"
Ticks1 = TimeParse(Time1)
Ticks2 = TimeParse(Time2)
T = Ticks2 - Ticks1
DeltaT = Time(T)

the result is 12:00:06 and not 00:00:06 as I would expect.
What am I doing wrong ?
Thanks Petr.

You must use 24 hours format:

<font face="Courier New"><font size="2"><font color="#0000ff"><font face="Courier New"><font size="2"><font color="#0000ff"><font face="Courier New"><font size="2"><font color="#0000ff">TimeFormat</font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font><font face="Courier New"><font size="2"><font face="Courier New"><font size="2">(</font></font></font></font><font face="Courier New"><font size="2"><font color="#800000"><font face="Courier New"><font size="2"><font color="#800000"><font face="Courier New"><font size="2"><font color="#800000">"HH:mm:ss"</font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font><font face="Courier New"><font size="2"><font face="Courier New"><font size="2">)</font></font></font></font>

instead of 12 hours format

<font face="Courier New"><font size="2"><font color="#0000ff"><font face="Courier New"><font size="2"><font color="#0000ff"><font face="Courier New"><font size="2"><font color="#0000ff">TimeFormat</font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font><font face="Courier New"><font size="2"><font face="Courier New"><font size="2">(</font></font></font></font><font face="Courier New"><font size="2"><font color="#800000"><font face="Courier New"><font size="2"><font color="#800000"><font face="Courier New"><font size="2"><font color="#800000">"hh:mm:ss"</font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font><font face="Courier New"><font size="2"><font face="Courier New"><font size="2">)</font></font></font></font>

In 12 hours format time begins with 12:00:00PM
In 24 hours format time begins with 00:00:00

Best regards.

You are specifying 12 hour time format. See Help -> Main Help -> Keywords -> Time -> TimeFormat.

Be aware that measuring time with b4ppc is very inaccurate on the device. If you want to measure intervals smaller than 1 second you should use GetTickCount from dzhw.library.
