Description
The Time class is available for programs that require time and date
recording. In future, support will also be provided for the addition and
subtraction of date values.
Please note that the Time class uses strict metric interpretations of
"millisecond" and "microsecond" terminology. That is, a millisecond is
1/1000th (one thousandth) of a second, a microsecond is 1/1000000th (one
millionth) of a second.
To get the current system time, use the Query action.
