TimeStamp coordinates

larstoc

Hey,

I want to time stamp coordinates I write to a file during simulation in robotstudio, however, I can only find functions that give me time in seconds and not in milliseconds. This is detrimental as it updates the coordinates approximately 10 time per second. Is there any way to plot the coordinates of a tool, or is there a way to get a more accurate time stamp in Rapid? The best would be to get runtime in milliseconds.

Clock data has a has a resolution of 0.001seconds.

Thanks a lot! That was just what we needed. Was obsessed with the different time functions that we forgot to look for clock.

Didn't notice this before now, but it actually has a resolution of 0.01 seconds and not 0.001 seconds. I don't know why they decided to limit the resolution to 10 ms, but it is really annoying.

Manual say :

Data of the type clock stores a time measurement in seconds and has a resolution of 0.001seconds.
