Difficulty with Format Value for Time Format

 I have a vi where the current time is split out of an Analog waveform (using Get Waveform Components), and subtracted from a starting time, to result in  a relative time since the test began.  This may not be the most elegant way of doing it, but it works great.  The problem is that when I try to convert the elapsed time in seconds back to a time format for saving to a spreadsheet, I get the results shown by the probes.  In case the screen capture is not clear enough, the format string is     %<%H:%M:%S>t.  A colleague has tried this format and it works great. He's running 8.2, and I'm running 7.1.  Other than that, our applications appear identical.  Any ideas?

I'm also on 8.2 and it works fine for me. Maybe format value couldn't handle time format codes in 7.1. I'm not really sure and I don't have it installed to check. Why don't you use "Format into String" instead? It will work the same way, and should work fine with 7.1.
