Problem with Time-history Postprocessor in Transient Analysis

Hi,
I'm currently running a mode superposition transient analysis in Ansys Classic 13. The modes are calculated and then the transient analysis with specified load steps is started. When the solution is done and I define a variable in the Time-History Postprocessor for the deflection UZ at a node. When I graph the variable against the time i get the frequency for abscissa and not the time in seconds. Thus the graph is simply the amplitude for all modes connected through straign lines (see picture1).
how can I plot the deflection at a node over the time in seconds2?? It should look like a damped oscillation.
Thanks in advance
Nino
