Set time on the x axis of a graph

Hi,

 

I'm attempting to read a signal that I generated on a graph with the time on the x axis. However, when I plot the signal on a graph, I'm reading the amplitude vs the sample number rather than time. I thought that using the Build Waveform VI and setting a dt I would get the time.

 

I attached my VI to this message. If you look at it, my concern is in the case "True". And also keep in mind that you have to give a path to a binary file (waveform).

 

Thanks,

Marc

Your graph is set to "Ignore TimeStamp". Right click on it.

Thanks for the reply,

 

So I had actually noticed that before I posted my previous message, but when I choose not to ignore the time stamp I get the litteral time (ex: 10:14 am) with the date. Rather, I am looking for a time scale which if correct should extend from 0 to 0.010s (each signal is an impulse with a PRF of 100Hz, hence the 10ms duration).

In other words, I'm trying to see exactly what I would see if I plugged my function generator into an analog scope.

What exactly do you see on the x axis, then? You did not attach a data file for anyone to read.
