# DateConverter

## `DateConverter` (FUN)

FUNCTION DateConverter : RTS\_IEC\_RESULT

Use the DateConverter to get the date variables as a string for simple date and timestamp logging<br>

* Pass the address of the referenced timestamp (DT format) to the function and writes the result to the referenced values as a string.
* To use the complex result, pass the address of the referenced structure tComplexDateAndTime.
