Igor Pro problems with date display

Good afternoon,

I am an IgorPro64 version 9.05 user on Mac.

I have some problems regarding the display of dates and consequently it leads to problems when I plot my graphs.

To be more specific, my dataset is composed of a date columns (composed of only 2 different dates: 30th April 2024 and 1st May 2024), a time column (with time going from 17:40:22 and some seconds on the 30th April 2024 until 9:37:17 on the 1st of May) and finally a depth column that I want to plot as a function of time. I have data every 0.1 seconds.

My first step was to change the wave scaling to date and time (I need start and delta for the rest of my future analysis) but Igor Pro asks me to put the dates in the MM/DD/YYYY format (so 04/30/2024) but if I do that it does not work and only works with the date in DD/MM/YYYY format (so 30/04/2024).

But then, when I plot my graph of depth as a function of time, I get a graph that starts at midnight on the 01/01/1904 and finishes at midnight the day after with a huge gap in the middle (gap from 9:37:17 and 17:40:22 instead of plotting a graph that starts at 17:40:22 on 30/04/2024 and finishes at 9:37:17 the day after). If I clic on the axis of my graph to try and change the scale, it does not work and my graph just disappears.

I tried to find a way to merge date and time in a same column but it just never worked (I tried to use the ‘for’ ‘end for’ but this function just always gives me errors…).

Is there a way to fix my date problems?

Thank you in advance for your answer.
Jeanne
