Creating a Chart

A chart appends new data points to those already in the display. On a chart, you can see the current reading or measurement in context with data previously acquired. Refer to Chapter 11, Graphs and Charts, of the LabVIEW User Manual, for more information about charts.

Complete the following steps to create a chart.

  1. Select a Waveform chart on the Controls»Graph palette and place it on the front panel.
  2. Right-click the chart to customize your chart using the shortcut menu options.

You can configure the X and Y scales, format the X and Y scales, add a plot, zoom in or out, and scroll through the chart.
