X/Y Chart plotting in whole numbers

Solved!
Go to solution

I am trying to plot signals against a time channel (although as far as I am concerned it is just an incremental channel) on an XY Chart.  The reason I want ot use the XY Chart is I wan to alter the Time channel to shift the data closer to the accelerometer signal.  Below is the setup and outputs, left is what it looks like on a recorder and right how it is coming out on the XY Chart.  As you can see the XY is only showing whole number values, not sure why???

 

The worksheet is attached as well as the datafile.

The data that you are plotting has whole numbers for the time... How did you write the data? 

 

0, 1, 2, 3....

Even if I make it 3 decimals it still comes out the same...this is just really got me stumped.

(Don't mind the arithmetic block, just shifting the data left.)

It is the Time Channel from an ASCII write...

 

Had the Time Format set wrong: "Computer time" was selected not "Time deducted from data"  Must have set that yesterday before I went home Smiley Frustrated
