PIC Programming in MikroC

I am currently writing code to send a text string by PIC16F88 through the MAX232 to my PC (Hyperterminal).

I can get all my text to output on the monitor correctly but I am struggling to find a function that will output the current time and or date on the screen.

Example:

\n starts a new line in Hyperterminal.

\r produces a carriage return function in Hyperterminal.

So which function prints the Time and Date in Hyperterminal? Is there one?

Cheers

No such function in Hyperterminal.

...and those aren't a function of Hyperterminal, your compiler/assembler translates those to the correct ascii carriage return/linefeed codes. Hyperterminal is just a dumb terminal; there's no logic in it at all.

I really recommend using REALTERM for testing. It is great tool.
