Chart time match with system time

[Justus Jonas]

Hello,

I have built a waveform-chart that can change the time increment in the x-axis, but my value generator (the simplest one) won’t show me any values at system time. All the values that are generated are shown only at the beginning of the labview time-calculation, which is January the first of 1904. How can I generate values that match with the system time?

Thanks

Me again,

I forgot to add my VI, so here it is!

Look at the shipping example called Real-time Chart.

thanks for the reply. I know that example, that´s why I wrote this post. There´s got to be an other way beside from splitting the time in seconds...All in all it´s a lot of work just to see the values at system time?!?

I just want that graph showing values over the current time.

I should have been clearer. You don't have to use the Seconds to Date time function like in the example. You can use the Get Date/Time in Seconds like you have but you do have to wire it to Xscale.Offset like Real-Time Chart shows.

thanks for the hint, now it´s working.

have a pleasant day
