Detailed Description

The TimestampOperator outputs the timestamp as a double value (with millisecond precision).

If HwClock argument is set to true more accurate (but slower) hardware time source is used, otherwise operator uses less expensive way to calculate the time from the last component run.

Arguments

When operator is used inside a signal its default input is automatically tied to signal's InternalValue or previous operator's output. Its default output is automatically tied to next operator's input or to signal's Value. See also CDP Operator Usage In CDP Signals.

Actual Processing Code of the TimestampOperator

unsigned int TimestampOperator<double>::Process()
{
  if (!m_systemRunTime || !m_hwClock)
    return STATUS_ERROR;

  if ((bool)*m_enable)
  {
    if ((bool)*m_systemRunTime)
    {
      if ((bool)m_hwClock)
        m_output = CDPTimer::Time();
      else
        m_output = CDPTime::GetGlobalTime();
    } else {
      if ((bool)m_hwClock)
        m_output = CDPTime::GlobalClock();
      else
        m_output = CDPTime::GlobalClockMs();
    }
  }

  return STATUS_OK;
}
