I am trying to create a simple chart of a voltage as a function of time since the start of acquisition without reference to time of day. For example I want the time axis to read from 0 to 2000 seconds. In DataView, Properties, Scales I set Timestamp Type to Relaive and put 0 and 2000 in the max and min boxes. In Format I check ignore timestamp and selected Floating point.
I press run, but do not see my data and the above settings have changed to Timestamp type Absolute and Format absolute time. I change to relative time and my data appears, but I still cannot get rid of the time of day format. Very frustrating.
Any help would be appreciated.

DRBC,
It looks like this is an known issue with SignalExpress(CAR# 207543) that the X scale can only show absolute time. The work around is to do acquisition in N samples mode or continuous mode. If this functionality is really important, LabVIEW can easily perform this functionality with the DAQ assistant.

Thanks Danny,
I'll try the work arounds. When will it be fixed?

DRBC,
I took another look at the issue and R&D has been made aware of this forum post, but at this time it is unknown when the fix will be made.
