Trouble with wave output from Read 1.vi in Lecroy instr. driver

Hello! I am trying to operate a Lecroy 9310C oscilloscope with LabVIEW and the LC930X_1X instrument driver. I want to use the T(0) and delta t from the wave output from Read 1.vi to figure time of flight but I can't seem to access these values.

The T(0) and delta t come up in the wave output indicator box but when I unbundle them and attach an indicator to T(0) or delta t the value is always zero.

Also, the values for T(0) and delta t in the wave output indicator are followed by either a U or N (indicating either micro or nano seconds). This makes me think that T(0) and delta t are strings but they will not wire into any string functions.
Can anybody give me any clues about this?

Much appreciated!

I downloaded the LC930X_1X instrument driver (LV 5.1 version) from the NI website. I looked at the VI called LCDSO Read Wave 1 (Single).vi. As I followed the data flow from the Waveform cluster output back through the other subVIs it seems to me that the time data originates from a data string (look at 'Parameters 4' output generated from the LCDSO Base Read Descriptor.vi). I couldn't test this instrument driver because I don't have the instrument, but in order to debug this you will have to 'Probe' the values that are located in 'Parameters 4' output from the LCDSO Base Read Descriptor while running this VI. As for the 'Read 1.vi', that was mentioned in the question, it wasn't located in the instrument driver I downloaded. Also, in my instrument driver that I downlo
aded there was no 'U or N' unit descriptors on my waveform output.
