Timestamp issue on waveform graph

Solved!
Go to solution

I'm kind of at a loss for this issue. Why is it that the time (x scale) shows up correctly on the waveform chart (Averaged Data) but not on the waveform graph:

 I hope I added the "Graph Issue.png" code snippet correctly...

It probably has to do with the graph properties, either in the scales or display tab, but it is hard to tell if you don't upload your VI.

I tried to upload it. I guess the snippet didn't work. Here is the actual vi.

Sorry, I don't have access to LabVIEW 2017, only 2016 and lower. Could you upload for a previous version using file >> save for previous version...

Right click on the waveform graph.  Uncheck the setting "Ignore Timestamp".

 

Profits.

Thanks. 🙂 I knew it was something simple that I was missing. Just couldn't find which check box that needed to be checked/unchecked.

Looking farther.  Change the display formats for the X Scales to use system date

(%<%H:%M:%S
%x>T)

You'll notice that the Graph is UTC-5:00 or 5 hours before epoch, midnight Jan 0th 1904 (I know Jan does not have a zeroith date.)  You must be an hour east of Central Time where I am!.  The Chart is in local time

 

Since the graph starts at epoch it MUST be ignoring the waveform timestamp and using "0" for t0.

 

After that its just a Right Click to fix if a fix is actually desired
