Suppose that an image in the file sPath was acquired beginning at 0h 52m 23.62s GMT. The following script returns the time at which the image was acquired:

I = CImage:new()	-- create a new CImage
I:Open( sPath )	-- open the image
Printf( "t = %lg", I:Time())	-- Result: t = 3143.62 sec
Printf( "T = '%s'", I:TimeStr())	-- Result: T = '00:52:23.62'
