a basic questions about enum and Waveform Chart

[vladosaurus]

Hi everyone, 
I almoust finished my measurment program.
But I have some problems with basic things.

1. When I start the program I want that every enum control in my GUI is set to "/" and not "wait" or "8" as its now. I tried to reorder my typedef but it didnt help. How should I do it?

2. On my Waveform Chart on the x-Axis is the absolute time, but i would like to have a relative time that starts from 00:00 when I start the program, and ends when the program comes to the end. I tried to do it, but somehow it didnt work.. I couldnt correct the starting point to 00:00.. do you have any ideas how to do it?

Thanks in Advance,
Vlado!

Hi vlado,

1. set (and save) a default value for each control

2. format your x axis for "relative time"…

Btw. you should also type-define your big cluster!

By the "Enum Control", do you mean the one associated with the Status Indicator?  You initialize it, at present, to "Waiting for the Start Button" -- simply change it to another Enum, then (while the Control is still selected) click Edit (Menu bar), then Make Selected Values Default.  You can also set all of the Controls to the Default values you want, have nothing selected, and choose Make Current Values Default.

2. On my Waveform Chart on the x-Axis is the absolute time, but i would like to have a relative time that starts from 00:00 when I start the program, and ends when the program comes to the end.

Right-click the Chart, choose Properties, Display Format, and set the X Axis to Relative Time (instead of Absolute Time).

Hi, and thanks for answering!!
Well the following happens, when I start the program after I set it to relative time... (see the values under the chart)

Put another time function at the beginning of the program and subtract that value from where your time function is now before you bundle it into the waveform.

Finally did it!!
