Hello:

I am converting a chart from DB1 to DB2 and the timestamp doesn’t appear to be converted correctly. The same data displays correctly in DB1.

I have checked the timestamp data using epoch converter website and that looks correct.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Ugh - right after I posted this question, I thought to look at the X-Axis limit property. By changing it to 1 week, the data was displayed correctly. What I didn’t realize is that it appears to take the **lesser** of two limits (time or data points). I had the data points set to 1000 but the time was set to 1 hour
