Send the output of the now() function to a To String object. On the To String
object, change from Default Format to Time Stamp Format and request the Time
data.
Send the time string to a From String object. Change the Default Format to
Token Format and change SPACE DELIM to EXCLUDE CHARS. Set the exclude character
list to ":
". Finally, change the SCALAR type to ARRAY 1D and changes the SIZE
argument to TO END. You'll end up with a 3 element array containing the HH, MM,
and SS.
