System Time Constructs?

[IrvPrail]

I frequently use tick charts and need to know how long the current bar has been active. I can't find a construct that gives "System Time Now" -- all I can fetch is "Time This Bar Opened"; the standard JavaScript constructs "now.getSeconds()" etc. yield syntax errors in eSignal's implementation.
Am I missing something? Is there a way to do what I need, short of communicating with another study which has an interval of 1S? (The latter option seems terribly wasteful of system resources, and I'm close to maxed out already...)
Thanks in advance!

Hello Irv,

To get system time, you need to use a date object. Are you setting now to a JavaScript Date Object?

var now = new Date();
var secs = now.getSeconds();

THANK YOU Jason! I knew that, but forgot. And refused to remember, looks like! Dunno what I'd do without you guys!!
