Adding 5 minutes to a time stamp

[sandyinlet]

I've yet to understand how to handle calcs involving a timestamp. In the current situation I need to fetch the current timestamp and then add 5 minutes to it.

Much appreciated.

Would

Get (hosttimestamp) + 300

be the correct answer? It would be if the time were stored as seconds since the beginning of the date portion of the timestamp. Plus 3600 to add an hour. Plus 3600 x 24 to add a day. Not sure.

With kind regards,

Try =

Get ( CurrentTimestamp ) + 300

What happens when you try it?
