Hi Neil.
You might benefit from the TICKS command that "Returns the system time as a binary integer, in units of 1/8192 second."
I don't know the details of your data entry, but the program would provide each data entry with its own TICKS command, which could also be used to tag the entry.
Or you might prefer to use the DATE command (press & hold [RIGHT SHIFT] while pressing [9], then press [F1]) which returns the system date.
Hope this helps.
Best regards.

Oggetto: [50g] Timestamp capabilities?
Hi all,
I'm a biologist who works in some remote locations, and I'm interested
in a calculator that can double as a data entry device. I know the 50g
has an internal clock -- does anyone know if it's possible to write a
program that would allow data entry with a timestamp attached to each
data point? This would be really handy for my work. If I could make
use of the internal clock in this way, that would definitely tip the
balance toward this calculator over the TI-89.
How do you find the battery life on the 50g? How many hours of
operation might I get from a fresh set of AAAs?
Thanks in advance for your help! And please forgive the naivete of a
newbie :)
