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.
' Here P1 is smaller then P2, therefore the result will roll over
$$LAA=01:24:12.001
$$LAB=02:50:13.002

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.
