time and date in X axis

[nico35]

Hi,


Is there a way to set a time on a X-axis coordonate of a waveform graph in this format hh:mm:sec? I guess this is possible on LabVIEW but I did not find under CVI 6.0 (I will buy the CVI 7.1 version also)

In fact, I would like to monitor an acquisition which can last few hours using a strip chart mode. At the beginning of the acquisition, time per division should be in sec then min, then hour.

You could try changing the X-scale to display label strings instead of automatic labels. With label strings you can assign a particular label to a specific point in the x-axis. So supposing your x array is measured in seconds you could create label strings with a pattern of 600 (10 minutes) formatting strings as "10:00", "20:00" and so on.

This is useful if you use a graph, tah is yous x-axis is not changing during the test. In case you need to use a strip chart probably you can create all the necessary label strings before launching the test and let the the graph to update automatically the x-axis while points are drawn on the control. I had created a little sample that demontrates it.

Hi Nicolas,
See the exe attached and please tell me if you are interested in having the source.

Hi dilution,

I was trying to look at your program but seems that the UIR is missing...

Thank for your answer but your exe did not run since he requested me some missing file (_UP_GetIndexFromPoint).

Could you also send me your source code?
Thanking you in advance.
