Cognex DataMan - Generic Use Case: Real Time Timestamp

onTimer: function () {
today = new Date();
var msg = today.getSeconds() * 1000 + today.getMilliseconds();
num_send = this.send(peer_name + ': time is: ' + msg + '\r\n');
this.resetHeartBeat(); // schedule next timer event [sec]
},
resetHeartBeat: function () {
this.setTimer(beat_timer); // schedule next timer event [sec]
}
};
}
Generic use case: Real time timestamp
Implements a custom DMCC command to set the real time (send current time in seconds starting Jan 1 1970, as output
by date +”%s” command). Prepend output with real time timestamp.
