> > Thanks but what I want is to plot a real time graph using this time that means I want the exact time value as HH:MM:SS in each interval for example 10:44:32 is the real time I want to have the values 10:44:31,10:44:30,10:44:29,10:44:28 ...etc till 15 seconds.

> That gives you the mm/dd/yyyy HH:MM:SS formatted times from the last 15 seconds. It's up to you to manipulate what I've done from there to turn it into something you can use to plot, as a cell array of strings is not a valid independent variable.
way way better than the code I wrote thanks a lot.
