How to synchronize serial data with current PC time on a chart

[pier64]

Hi,

I need to plot data values coming from a serial connection (9600 baud) on the Y axis of a chart while the X axis must report the current PC time at which data is read. I use one while cycle to do that but I do not find the proper function to read the exact PC time and to associate it with the data.

Any link or clue?

Thanks,

Pier

Where did you look? The function is called Get Date/Time In Seconds and is on the Timing palette. Have you looked at the example called Real Time Chart?
