I've just found that in LV7 you can correct this using the property Xscale.Range.Start and setting it to your local midnight instead of 0. =====================Response===================== I was aware of this solution. However, the last time I tried it in LV 6.1 it did not work properly for small time scales of a few minutes or seconds (I can't recall the exact time span where it started to fail). For some reason, the execution time of the graph grew tremendously and in a few cases LabVIEW locked up. I still think that this should be fixed by NI and be part of the graph. I will submit it again to the appropriate NI website page. Lewis Drake Process Automation Corporation Belle Mead, NJ 908 359-1011 www.processauto.com
