Creating a Graph

VIs with graphs usually collect the data in an array and then plot the data to the graph, which is similar to a spreadsheet that first stores the data then generates a plot of the data. Refer to Chapter 11, Graphs and Charts, of the LabVIEW User Manual, for more information about graphs.

Complete the following steps to create a graph.

  1. Select a Waveform, XY, or Digital Waveform graph on the Controls»Graph palette and place it on the front panel.
  2. Right-click the graph to customize it 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 add cursors.
