Variable Mark
Mark
Type
Information Represented
$[OutputTime], $[Time]
Sheet
The time the output is created (hh:mm:ss). If you use the
$[OutputTime] mark, the format is hh:mm:ss. If you use
the $[Time] mark, the format can be adjusted using
these tags:
●
%H for hour
●
%M for minute
●
%S for second
For example, to create a mark that shows only the hour
and minutes, the tag could be $[time_%H:%M] for 4:15.
The tags are case sensitive and the underscore after the
time in the variable is required. Separate the tags using
colons or dashes. Spaces and underscores are supported.
