The Now block

The Now block sends the current date and time as the number of milliseconds since the Unix epoch (January 1, 1970). When you connect a Now block to a Display block, the Display block converts the number to a readable date format unless you select the Display block's Number format.

Output

The Now block has a single output port that sends the current date and time.

Setup

Connect the Now block's output port to another block's input port. It will send the current date and time from its output port.
