In LabVIEW 7.1, can a time in seconds be entered on the X axis and automatically be formatted to hh:mm:ss (Like it did in LabVIEW 6.1?)

[TLE]

It used to be in LabVIEW 6.1 you could format the x-axis to be relative time. The user could then enter in a time in seconds on the x-axis and have it automatically format to hh:mm:ss. For example, an entry of 100 would be displayed as 1:40. In LabVIEW 7.1, an entry of 100 is displayed as 100:00:00.

It still works that way in 7.1. If you're using a chart or graph, where did you input the value of 100? If you right click and select properties, go to the scales tab, select the axis, and enter the value in the offset box. Programatically, use the XScale.Offset.

The behaviour described by TLE (typing a value over the scale and having it converted from seconds to hh:mm:ss time disappeared already with LV 7.0.
Probably because a number of users had been complaining that they wanted to enter their data the other way... typing 100 meaning 100:00:00 😉

I was afraid of that. Just goes to prove that you can't please everyone.

Thanks!

Okay, I misunderstood the question. You're right CC, that old behavior was confusing and I for one, am glad NI changed it.
