If you send waveforms to a chart, each waveform has a t0, and the waveform can have one point or 1,000,000. So to get a variable time chart that isn't completely XY -- won't do circles -- just send a waveform with one point to the chart. This means every point is timestamped and you probably will get what you want. I believe this is what happens by default when using single point DAQ. Greg McKaskle
