Look up FormatString in the index of the Measurement Studio 6.0 Reference. When it pops up a dialog that says "Topics Found," choose the last option that says "FormatString Property." There is information here that will help. Specifically:
"With ActiveX controls, the date is implemented as a floating-point value, measuring days from midnight, 30 December 1899. So, midnight, 31 December 1899, is represented by 1.0. Similarly, 6 AM, 1 January 1900, is represented by 2.25, and midnight, 29 December 1899, is -1.0. However, 6 AM, 29 December 1899, is -1.25. To interpret the time portion, take the absolute value of the fractional part of the number. Thus, 1 second equals 1 / 24 hours / 60 minutes / 60 seconds, which is 1/86400 or approximately 1.157407e-5."
Try creating a float value in this format and plotting it.
