MiniRobotLanguage (MRL)

TCA.Make - Command

Make 2 Timestamps

Intention

Using TCA.Make you can easily create a Timestamp 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 Makeition of any of the values goes beyond their limit, the Carry is Makeed to the next higher Parameter.
