Recording of the seconds from the start of the measurement in the csv export of the waveform instead of relative timing with date

[LabviewUser207]

Hi all, I want to save multiple waveforms into one CSV file, which currently works just fine. I also calculated the relative timestamp, which means the recording starts at "1/1/1904 01:00:00".

Does anyone know how to save the time just in seconds, meaning that it starts at 00:00:00 and just counts the seconds from the beginning, whithout showing the date etc. in the export. So that I only export the time from the start of the measurement in the csv file and not the whole date... I attached my curent approach below.

Thank you for any help!

Create your own VI to export waveforms to get FULL control over data formatting…

Is there an easier way to do this?
