Global timestamp variable

Chris,

How can I send the global timestamp you use to synchronize things internally in mworks as a string over 0MQ?

Hi Shay,

If you want to send it via the Open Ephys network events client, just assign the current time (now()) to the “request” variable. MWorks will convert it into a string for you.

Alternatively, if you want to send a formatted string that includes the time, use the format function, e.g.

format("current timestamp = %d", now())

Perfect. Thank you for the quick reply.
