Perhaps I could get some help. I have an ASCII file created from a DasyLab 10 write module. The time that is in the first column is written as time of day at the actual time that experiment is captured.
Example:
Header
14:00:0.00; Ch1 data; Ch 2 data; etc
14:00:1.00; Ch1 data; Ch 2 data; etc
14:00:2.00; Ch1 data; Ch 2 data; etc
14:00:3.00; Ch1 data; Ch 2 data; etc
...
I read the file, using a Read Module, and connect its outputs to the inputs of a Chart Recorder Module. In the Read Module, original date/time is selected in the option box. However when I execute the Read Program and print to the Chart Recorder....my x-axis displays the time of day the Read Program is executed (lets just say I use the read program at 5 pm, that is the time on the x-axis of the Chart Recorder). What I would like, is my x-axis displaying and reading the time from the original experiment (in the example, starting at 2 pm)
Any way of doing this?

You need to also set the ASCII Options to configure how to read the date/time.
In addition to selecting the ASCII Time Channel setting, you may need to specify the Time Channel Parameters. Pay attention to the date format. It defaults to European standard DD-MM-YYYY, and the data is usually stored in US standard, MM-DD-YYYY.
