TCA. Subtract Timestamps

MiniRobotLanguage (MRL)

TCA.Diff - Command

Subtracts 2 Timestamps

Intention

Using TCA.Diff you can easily Subtracts 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 result of any of the values goes beyond their limit, the Carry is added to the next higher Parameter.

If the result is smaller then P1, the result will roll over to the previous time.

Sample: Diff (Add Timestamps)

' Here P1 is smaller then P2, therefore the result will roll over
$$LAA=01:24:12.001

$$LAB=02:50:13.002

$$ERG=22:33:58:999

Syntax

TCA.Diff|P1|P2[|P3]

TCA.Dif|P1|P2[|P3]

Parameter Explanation

P1 - Timestamp A

P2 - Timestamp B

P3 - Variable for Result Timestamp. If omitted the result is placed on TOS.
