How can I get the system clock time in a global variable of when button (object) is clicked?

(1) - I would like to create a test in JavaScript that will capture the system date/time (T1) of when the button was clicked and store that time in a global variable. Next compare the captured time ...

    Somethig like this,

        Aliases.Fetchbtn.Click(); // Perform click here
    const t1 = new Date(Date.now());
    Log.Message("First button clicked at: " + t1.toUTCString());

For example,

 

function Split()
{
    // Peform click here
    const t1 = aqDateTime.Time();
    Log.Message("First button clicked at: " + aqConvert.DateTimeToStr(t1));
    
    aqUtils.Delay(3000);

    // Peform click here    
    const t2 = aqDateTime.Time();
    Log.Message("Second button clicked at: " + aqConvert.DateTimeToStr(t2));
    
    var diff = t2 - t1;
    Log.Message("Time difference between clicks: " + diff);
}

    rraghvani, thank you for your help.

     

    Sorry, but I am trying to understand your approach, how do I get the object that is being clicked in your code, for instance 

    1) My first button to click is Fetchbtn.Click() 

    2) My second button to click is Savebtn.Click() 

     

    I ran your example .....

    aqConvert.DateTimeToStr(t1))

    It gave me 1899 instead of my system clock 2023.  Also, any way to show time in seconds instead of ms.
