Introduction
Get system date and time.

---

Usage

There are 2 ways to get date and time:

1. use "Expression:Year", "Expression:Month", "Expression:Date", "Expression:Date", "Expression:Day", "Expression:Hours", "Expression:Minutes", "Expression:Seconds", "Expression:Milliseconds" to get current system date and time. (Sample capx)
2. Get unix-timestamp by "Expression:UnixTimestamp" first, it is a number. Then use use "Expression:Year(unixtimestamp)", "Expression:Month(unixtimestamp)", "Expression:Date(unixtimestamp)", "Expression:Date(unixtimestamp)", "Expression:Day(unixtimestamp)", "Expression:Hours(unixtimestamp)", "Expression:Minutes(unixtimestamp)", "Expression:Seconds(unixtimestamp)", "Expression:Milliseconds(unixtimestamp)" to get date and time mapped from unixtimestamp. User could save this unixtimestamp value to save date&time. (Sample capx)

---

Unix-timestamp
Sample capx
"Expression:Date2UnixTimestamp" could transfer date&time to unixtimestamp, it has at least 3 parameters year,month,day.

Get delta time by unix-timestamp
Sample capx
Get delta time by subtract two output of "Expression:Date2UnixTimestamp, the unit is milliseconds

---

Local expression
Sample capx
Get local date expression string by "Expression:LocalExpression". Or "Expression:LocalExpression(unixtimestamp)" to transfer timestamp to local date expression.

---

Timer for escaped time

Get escaped time
Sample capx

1. Call "Action:Start" to start a timer by recording current time-stamp. 
   
2. Get escaped time by "Expression:Timer", in second.

This escaped time will not be affected by time scale setting.

Pause or resume
Call "Action:Pause" or "Action:Resume" to pause or resume the timer.
