The second column of the radio data is the time in the format hr.min.sec, so the first time in the table is 00.05.29.

The weather file only has hr:min and seems to wrap after 24 hours.

Yes, thats the problem-the fact that both time formats are different and also the recordings occur at different interval gaps. Any ideas on how to resolve this?

[Patel33]

Would a multi plot with colours work for this?

[altenbach]

plotting the data is not the problem. SInce the time in one file wraps after each day, it is not unique.

[Patel33]

How should I go about this then? I am relativley inexperienced with labview and am unsure about how to proceed.

Thanks

[altenbach]

This has nothing to do with LabVIEW directly, there are easy ways to unwrap the times with a few simple assumptions.

[Patel33]

Oh ok, so after unwrapping the times, the plot will be simple? What do you mean by unwrap the times?

Thanks

Assuming we are dealing with consecutive days, we need to add one day whenever the time is lower than the previous time in the column.

It's only consecutive days for some of the data, there are a few gaps between some days.

So there is no way to reconstruct it without additional information.
