How do I assign a timer to the DAQ module so that it counts the time from the start of the collection?

Hi Everybody,

I'm new to LabVIEW and need some help!

I have setup a system that acquires the data from 4 thermocouples. I have then split the data to provide 4 temperature versus time graphs. The temperature fluctuates up and down but the time values at the bottom do not change? What I would like is for the time values to represent the amount of time the data has been collected for!

I have attached my program, so please give me any ideas! Also any other improvements that you feel would make it better, please dont be shy!

The time is not increasing/changing because you have "Ignore Timestamp" Checked

(right click on a graph to uncheck) This should fix the problem

Thanks Kenny, that worked a treat.

I'd looked everywhere and tried many things to accomplish that.

Cheers again!

When in doubt, right click on any object on your front panel or block diagram. You will be amazed what options will pop up.
