Why are timestamps missing in MATLAB when I export my LabChart 7 file as MATLAB Data Format on a Mac?

Timestamps are not supported in the Export MATLAB Extension for LabChart 7 for Mac. Timestamps can only be exported to MATLAB in LabChart for Windows.

 
If you have access to a Windows computer, then simply save the LabChart for Mac file in the LabChart for Windows Data Format to export data to MATLAB as desired.  The following steps describe how to this:
 
  • Select 'Save As...' from the File Menu
  • Name the File
  • Select Where to Save
  • Change the File Format to 'LabChart for Windows Data'
  • Click Save
Now you can open the file in LabChart for Windows and export the data in MATLAB Data Format, which will include Timestamps. An export extension is not required when exporting to MATLAB with LabChart 7 for Windows or LabChart 8 for Windows
 
Please note that LabChart includes a 3 seat license which enables you to install the software on 3 seperate computers: 1 for data acquisition and 2 for analysis. Both Mac and Windows Software Installers are included on your installation disc. However, you may also download the latest software installers from the ADInstruments Website.
