Russ,
It's quite likely you are setting the scale increment values too small
for the axis grid label size. If you do this, LV won't be able to fit
all the labels on the axis and it will ignore your values and set up
the axis on its own. Try increasing the increment values or
decreasing the font size. Another thing you might try is changing the
format of the Time & Date. If you are showing the seconds and the
year, it will make your grid labels big and less likely to fit on the
axis using the increment you define. Try selecting "don't show year"
in the time format, and also select 24 hour (so that AM or PM won't
show) HH:MM time format to make is as small as possible. Finally, if
all this fails, try making your graph bigger to make more room on the
axis.
