Hi,

We assume you are talking about the Phidget GPS found in the FlowBotics Studio component reference, pages 324-325?

If so, then yes, it does seem like it does not output the date/time from the GPS module.

Aside from an improved primitive, the alternative/work around most likely to work would be to access the Phidgets API DLL for the Phidget GPS directly through FlowBotics Studio. You can read more about using DLL here.
Using direct calls to their API, you should be able to connect to the device and request any information it offers, including date/time.

Sincerely,

We just posted some re-purposed examples using DLLs. You can find them here.
