graph offset from file

[csmrunman]

I have a 2 files that are written, each time an experiment is finished. One is a binary file with all the temp vs time data. The other is a text file with important data like start time, which furnace was run, etc. These files are read into a post-processor for some data manipulation and compression. I would like to have the the x offset of my graphs to begin at the start time, which is read from the text file, and have the same interval between points as when the experiment was run. then, as i compress the data, the x axis would adjust accordingly.

i realize i've got some crappy coding in my file, and some good coding. i am in the process of redoing this code.  

thanks

i guess i should add the text file. it won't let me add the bin file, but that's not the important part

I figured it out. I had the time stamp data in another VI, that handles the experiments. I just made sure that the Start Time time stamp  was converted to time string, then was in my text file. Then I could read the text file and convert the time string back to time stamp. From there, I could use the XScale.Offset property node.
