Values

VAL_RELATIVE_TIME_FORMAT LabWindows/CVI displays axis labels as formatted strings that describe the time elapsed since a reference point. Example: 00:00:52:23. When you use this format, LabWindows/CVI interprets a plotted data value as the number of seconds that have elapsed since the reference point. The fractional part of the data value represents a fraction of a second.
VAL_ABSOLUTE_TIME_FORMAT LabWindows/CVI displays axis labels as formatted strings that describe fixed points in time. Example: 12:30:54 10/7/04. When you use this format, LabWindows/CVI interprets a plotted data value as the number of seconds since midnight, January 1, 1900. The fractional part of the data value represents a fraction of a second.
VAL_FLOATING_PT_FORMAT Example: 123.000
VAL_SCIENTIFIC_FORMAT Example: 1.23E+2
VAL_ENGINEERING_FORMAT Example: 123.00E+0
