Time stamp on Waveform Charts

[ClaesO]

I'm making an application where I sample data every 5 seconds. I use the Time Delay VI to obtain the sampling interval, and then set the chart options using chart properties/format and precision/relative time. The chart is adding a point every 5 secs as it should, scale looks ok. However, the time scale on the graph is incrementing only one second at the time (although actual time elapsed is 5 secs). The log file gives the time stamps just as it should. Is there a way to make the waveform chart give the real time (other than the obvious solution of sampling 1 pt/sec)?

Are you building a waveform using the acquired points?

or are you just directlly passing acquired scalar points to the chart?

I'm just directly passing scalar values to the chart. The total acquisition time is about an hour, and the idea is to display data as they vary with time.
