Chart X axis--Current time

[pistonbones]

I am trying to plot hourly data. However I am unable to set the x axis to display the time the data point is sent to the chart. I have attempted to use property nodes but I'm not familiar with using this technique. See vi for details.

Right click the chart, select properties and then change the time to relative or absolute.  Use absolute for "clock" time.

EDIT: It's on the Display Format tab.

NIquist,

That doesn't seem to work. The "clock" time is erroneous, instead of displaying the current date and time it displays Dec. 31 at 19:00 as the start time. I attempted to adjust the x axis manually but that didn't work either. Were does it take the time from...the PC or the device?

You need to set the offset of the x-axis with today's date and time.

try to use property node like the example!

Thanks for the example I will give that a try.

That example does nothing to set the X axis to the current time.

Look at the shipping examples. There is one called Real-Time Chart.

Dennis I looked at the example but I am unable to make it work in my application. Is there another way?

Not unless you show how you modified your application.

OK, I will not be near the PC until Monday...I'll upload the VI then.

Thanks
