A calculator is provided to assist a vehicle operator with the task of filling out and maintaining their log books. The calculator includes an input device that may receive a signal in accordance with the setting and release of the parking brake. The input device may also be a physical button pressed by the vehicle operator. A clock may be built into the device to provide current time and date. The input device provides a time stamp that may be altered or varied as directed by the user. A filter may be used to select and remove specific display data, such as an activity with a duration of less than a predetermined time which may be 7.5 minutes. A rounding algorithm may be used to generate rounded times in which the time stamp data may be rounded to the closest fifteen minute increment. These rounded times may be stored in a register to be recalled and arithmetically analyzed to assist the user in filling out and keeping the log books up to date.
