Read file to multiple plots and timestamp to x-asis

[elicom]

Hello everyone,

I know that there are a milion different topics about this, but I can't seem to get it to work with the ones that I've been looking at. 

I save data in a file. After that, I want to read the file in a different place and plot it in a graph. 

As you can see in the file "values", the 1st row is names and the collumns are the values that belong to them. (there are many more, about 120 columns)

• I've taken the first row, used a property node and used it to add the names to the correct plots.
• I can get all the values in the graph correct.
• What I can't seem to figure out though, is how to take the first column (originally a timestamp, now a string) and use it to make a correct x-axis. 

So, the problem is theoretically very easy, but I just can't get it to work! Can anybody help me? 

I have LabVIEW 2017, 32-bit.

Best regards,

parse time from string

Thank you so much! That solution is much simpler than mine! 

Do you think you can help me with the end too? The timestamp and the Y-values in a graph.

I've been trying with a waveform graph and a "build waveform", but can't get it to work since the Y only wants 1D arrays. I also tried with an XY graph, but couldn't get it to work eather.

Again, Thank you!!

I think however that there might be a difference between 2016 and 2017 LabView. I did exactly as you did, but I get a broken wire. In my "Cluster loop", the time stamp still has the timeglas and yours doesn't have that. Do you know why?

You should enable auto indexing at point 1 and leave it disabled at point 2

Thank you!

I saw that literally 2 mins before your post! 🙂 Thanks a million!
