get_vrbl_age

Purpose:

Return the value of the time in seconds since one or more variables were last updated.

Enter:

get_vrbl_age [precision] <label1> [label2] [label3] …

Where:

precision

Optional. If specified it must be the first argument. Specify the number of floating-point digits of precision for the returned variable ages.

label

Specify at least one variable label. All additional variable labels are optional. The program will compute ages for multiple variables.

Example:

get_vrbl_age cmp_in_p
results: 5

get_vrbl_age 3 cmp_in_p
results: 5.347

get_vrbl_age 2 cmp_in_p cmp_in_t
results: 5.34,3.28

get_vrbl_age 2 cmp_in_p cmp_in_t non_existent_variable hc_ppm
results: 5.34,3.28,4.12

Notes:

If a specified variable does not exist, no data is shown at that spot.
