[TRNSYS-users] How to record the computer clock time in TRNSYS?

[Jeff Thornton]

The best way to print the real computer time would be to write your own printer model or modify one of the existing printer models (Type 25).  There are fortran functions you can call to get the computer clock time.  But that will require you to have access to a fortran compiler.

However, unfortunately, some computers in our lab have the problem to run the TRNSYS-Excel type, so that I am looking for some other solutions.
