Obtaining the system date down to microseconds.

Hello colleagues,

I would like to extract the date from the system but I would like to get it in microseconds. I need this to be able to generate a time axis.

Thank you very much in advance.

Victor.

According to the information shared, I believe you can use the following code to obtain the date-time in microseconds

currentTime = datetime('now', 'Format', 'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSSSSS');

The above code will store the date-time(in microseconds) when you run the code in the currentTime varibale.

Now, to generate a time axis with microsecond precision, you can use the following code:

duration = input('Enter duration: ');
startTime = currentTime;
endTime = startTime + seconds(duration); 
timeAxis = startTime:duration(0, 0, 0.000001):endTime;

disp(timeAxis);

You can use this timeAxis for your use case.
