TCA. Add Timestamps

MiniRobotLanguage (MRL)

TCA.Add - Command

Add 2 Timestamps

Intention

Using TCA. you can easily add Timestamps in this Standard-Format:

HH:MM:SS.ddd

Hereby the

- HH is Hours (0 to 99 - not limited to 12 or 24)

- MM is the Minutes limited 59

- SS is the Seconds limited 59

- ddd is the Milliseconds limited to 999

The Format of the Milliseconds is internally rounded to 3 places by prefixing zeroes.

If you specify 00:00:23 this will be treated as 00:00:00.023

If you specify 00:00:00.023 this will be treated as 00:00:00.023

If the addition of any of the values goes beyond their limit, the Carry is added to the next higher Parameter.

Sample: Add (Add Timestamps)

' Technically the robot works with 08:09:59:098

$$LAA=08:14:59.98

' Technically the robot works with 12:00:00:002

$$LAB=12:59:5.2

TCA.Add|$$LAA|$$LAB|$$LAC

' Result is 21:14:04:100
