Timestamp in serial monitor #482

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

What change would like to see?
Display full/configurable timestamps (date & hh:mm:ss.sss) on each received 
message

Why?
To allow for tracing and debugging efficiently of time-based specific/spurious 
events, very-long time monitoring data(allow correlation of events with real 
clock), event tracing, jitter calculations(i.e., 10s delay actually was 12s in 
realtime).
all this without needing extra sketch code overhead or unnecesary hardware 
added to the Arduino side or having to perform unpractical calculations to 
millis output in the monitor(and associated cycle overhead) for example

Would this cause any incompatibilities with previous versions?  If so, how
can these be mitigated?
no incompatibilities, only changes the UI output on the serial monitor

This isn't a bad idea, but I think it would create more clutter than it's 
worth.
