Elapsed Time Present (s) never changes

When I call the Elapsed Time function, the "Present (s)" output according to Help: "Displays the present time in seconds since 12:00 a.m., Friday, January 1, 1904, Universal Time [01-01-1904 00:00:00]."

 

My output is always the same number when Start Time set to 0 (which should set the start time to "Now". I'm missing something but don't see it.

It just appears to stay the same due to the Display Format of your indicator.  Change the Display Format to 10 digits of precision and you will see what I mean.  Another option is to use the To Time Stamp and make an indicator for the time stamp.

I gave up on using that Express VI and went to Millisecond Timer. In my case it's easier to use as long as you take rollover into consideration.
