Hello,
I am puzzled about how the labview timestamp works and whether the leap seconds are included in it or not.
In the link http://www.ni.com/white-paper/7900/en/
It clearly states that they are not: (i64) seconds since the epoch 01/01/1904 00:00:00.00 UTC (using the Gregorian calendar and ignoring leap seconds)
BUT if I convert the current time (which I understand is the time of Windows which includes the leap seconds) to a labview timestamp in seconds they seem to be in sync and not to have an offset of 25 or so seconds which are the leap seconds introduced since 1/1/1904
Example:
12:10:00 07/10/2014 -> 3495521400
Is there a way to demonstrate with a small vi that the leap seconds are or are not included in the labview timestamp?
thank you
