Hello
I am struggling with time stamp. I have almost corrected the problem but it is not as good as I expect it to be.
I have data in the main vi which logs into text file with time stamp for everyday results logs.
I then pull all this data to display on waveform graph with the performance data on y axis and time stamp on x axis.
I convert the time stamp data from string back to time stamp using scan from function in string pallette. When I run the waveform graph vi. The time stamp data is not correct one. I see year values beginning 1974 etc. I change these values to 2011 and the correct dates and then could see the accurate logged data from data logger but I would like to have the starting date in my logged file the left most date on x-axis. I try modify dates in display format section of waveform graph but I think it gives the values in seconds which doesn't make much sense to me. Is it possible to automatically set the starting value of the graph as the first date in the logged file? I am new with using time stamps. Any feedback will be appreciated.
Kind Regards
Austin

Hi Austin,
"Is it possible to automatically set the starting value of the graph as the first date in the logged file?"
Sure: Use autoscaling, format x-axis as time and use waveforms with correct t0 value...
For all other questions you should attach a VI to show your current state of programming!
