There is no "elapsed time" scale; time scales must be initialized with valid date/time record.
You cannot use a start time of January 1, 1 AD, which would coorespond to a start time of 0.
But all you are interested in representation of an elapsed time scale. So just start your time scale with todays date (or any date really), initial time - 0:00:00. And end you time scale with todays date, some other time - 3:30:00. Use a TimeAxisLabels time label format that does not shoe the date, only the time. See the example program ScatterPlots.ScatterPoints.
ChartCalendar currentDate = new ChartCalendar();
ChartCalendar.SetTOD(currentDate,0,0,0);
.
.
.
TimeAxisLabels xAxisLab = new TimeAxisLabels(xAxis);
// Get rid of the initial date crossover label under the 0:00:00
xAxisLab.DateCrossoverMode = ChartObj.NO_DATECROSSOVER;
xAxisLab.AxisLabelsFormat = ChartObj.TIMEDATEFORMAT_24HMS;
Showing elapsed time on the x-axis
