Time Stamp Question

[Anonymous]

There are a lot of example progs which use the time stamp format in
soem way. One of them has a little .vi which appears to update the time
in some way and it is bundled along with 1/sampling freq (dt) + the
actual array to give a (is it a bundle or a cluster?) cluster that is
brown coloured. This seems to be used a lot. Can you tell me why? What
is the advantage?
If I need time as the x axis then I can still bundle things with 0,dt
and the array. I get a pinkish coloured wire if I do this instead but
the results appear to be the same. I don't need the date, only the time
so is the brown wire redundant for my uses?

That is a waveform.  A waveform is a special class of cluster for equally spaced data.  You can find them on the Programming>Waveform palette.  There are several functions there specifically for waveforms for analysis and manipulation that will not work properly for your cluster.  There is little to be lost and lots to be gained by using a waveform instead of a plain array or cluster.
