Graphing Date with XY Graph

[Gorelick]

I am cuurently recording data on several days using "Format Date/Time String" as my date indicator. I want to be able to read the data using an XY graph with date on the x-axis. I have formatted the x-axis changing all the approprite attributes but the problem arises when I try and convert the date string to an array of numbers. The date format is mm/dd/yy and I don't seem to be able to convert it to numbers wothout loosing the format of mm/dd/yy. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

I created an example that will give you array of time stamps.
I used LabVIEW 7.

Thank you very much, but unfortunately I am using 6i. Could upload a Jpeg of your diagram or if possible downsave to 6.0.

Thanks again!

Thanks for the vi, it made some other ideas I had clear. However I have run into a snag because I am using a array of string dates and still can't seem to figure this simple thing out.

I have attached a vi (labview 6i) with a txt file in the layout I am currently using. In the diagram I have explained my problems. I would really apprciate if you had a look. Cheers

Not too sure, but you may want to do something like as shown here
