real time on x axis

[JimJones]

hi,

i am having a problem trying to get the real time on to the x axis of a graph. i have converted the number in to seconds but i still do not understand how to get the real time on the x axis from this point. i have looked at the Varible-Time Chart XY.VI but stil don`t

thank

mike

You probably need to change the graph x-scale property to absolute time.  Right-click the graph, select properties, goto Format and Precision tab, select X-axis from pulldown and pick absolute time.  This is for LV ver7.1.

BTW, there is also a tricky little box in the scales tab.  Only when the X-axis is selected in the pulldown you see a selection box called 'ignore waveform timestamps on x-axes'.  You must turn that off to see real time on the graph.
