TCA. Divide a Timestamp

TCA.Divide - Command

Divide a Timestamp

Intention

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

The Division is always an Integer Division, means if P2 is "2.5" then the Robot will use a "2".

The Hours are hereby not limited to 23 because this way you can also calculate working times.

Sample: Div (Divide Timestamps)

$$LAA=30:14:12.900

$$LAB=2

TCA.Div|$$LAA|$$LAB|$$LAC

' Result is 15:07:06.450

MBX.$$LAC

ENR.

' Lets say the total amount of time to do the Job would be 45 Hours

' And you can use 5 Computers for it.

$$LAA=45:01:4.100

$$LAB=5

TCA.Div|$$LAA|$$LAB|$$LAC

' Result is 09:00:12.820

DBP.$$LAC

ENR.

Syntax

TCA.Divide|P1|P2[|P3]

TCA.Div|P1|P2[|P3]

Parameter Explanation

P1 - Timestamp A

P2 - Timestamp B

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

Remarks

Limitations:

Its a Integer Division. You can not divide using FP Numbers like "3.5".
