XY-Graph, draw Measured value with Timepstamp (e.g. -> 2,34; 12:31:12)

[_EMG_]

Hi there,

I have a proble to draw a XY plot. How is it possible to set the X-axis with the recorder timestamp ?

pls see the attachmend!


Thank you!

I can't look at your VI, but try right clicking and selecting Properties>>Format & Precision and change to Absolute time. If you're using a chart, you will need to set the Offset and Multiplier properties in your code using a property node.

Hi tst,

I´m using LV7.1


I´ve attached the diagram as a JPEG.


The problem is, the timestamp ia a string. A XY-graph does not accept a string!

You can translate a string to a timestamp by converting each element to a number and building a time cluster. The attached VI shows an example of the technique, but it's not finished and probably has some bugs. If your format is set, you can write a small piece of code to do this.

hi!

I modified your VI a little, it works now.

Connect an array of (Time-)strings, the output is a formated timestamp.


I think this funktion should be in a standard LV lib.......!

Couldn't agree more. Make a suggestion.
