Time stamp

The time stamp is an unVisiblee server component with the task of capturing the last time an incoming signal arrives on a network. So it can be seen when e.g. a command has last arrived or a user has last triggered a command.

 

Note: The display format can be set on the component. If the property field for the display format is empty, the default is: MM.dd.yyyy HH: mm: ss.
