Hey Steven,

Currently we are using the caLab server to create a softIOC on the PXIe chassis.  Then we grab our data from the digitizer and do a caput(calab labview) into our softIOC waveform record.  I have not seen anything that is part of caLab that would allow us to write directly to the TIME field of the waveform record that is running on our caLab softIOC.  If anyone knows or has done this before that would be great.

It sounds like you are using caLab as a CA client. caLab can also be used as a CA server (CaLabSoftIOC.vi). If you serve the PV from the labview side, you may be able to provide the time stamp to the record directly from your labview device support for your digitizer. And then propagate this time stamp to the other records via TSEL.
