Log w/ Timestamps

How about putting timestamps in the console logfile so the user can see how long each piece of his job took? Just grab milliseconds since start and pre-pend each console entry with it.

@AutoDoc When you say “each piece” of a job, what are you referring to? gSender already shows the run time for each file, so I am assuming you are referring to some other period of the run.

Sorry for the slow reply. If you timestamped each line (piece) in the log, the user could see how long each individual command took which might help him to refine his g-code.

@AutoDoc Understood, tks.

Interesting thought. I was just wondering about this. For example, in Lightburn, I have it write out a CSV of every file I’ve run. It gives datetime/device/filename. That too would be good if there was a start/finish time or just overall elapsed time for a file just to help keep track of a job. Many times I’ve been sitting there running a job wanting to keep track of how long it took and then when it ends, the times are cleared.

Any progress on this feature?

@ggardner1 Have you confirmed that this is not included in the current gSender? The original post was in 2022.
If it is not in 1.5.7, you may want to open a ticket with Sienci.

Thanks for the prompt response. Yes, it is in the current gsender. Google searched led me here instead of to the current features. Sorry about that.

@ggardner1 No worries. Tks for verifying. I’ll close this thread.
