Swap X and Y axis on a waveform chart

I'm trying to set a waveform chart to have the data flowing from bottom to top instead of left to right. I guess I have to swap the position of both axis but how? Any hint?

Thanks in advance

The X-Y Graph can have the data however you want it, but it is not a chart. If you can handle the updates and the changes on the time axis in your code to simulate the chart effect this might work. I have not tried it.

Yep, the answer is using an XY-Graph.

I attached a small example that acts like a vertical chart.

Have fun!

This is Philips code as a jpg so you can duplicate in LV 6.02.

Hi

I am looking to do something similair but with multiple plots. I have accomplished this in the X-Y graph but I get an ugly retrace line.

- there is always an easy way, but it is always the hardest to find

Insert a single "NaN" between the end of one plots and the start of the second. Since LV can't plot "NaN" it will "lift the pen" when it sees a "NaN".

Check the context help for xy-graph.
 
You are only plotting a single plot. To plot multiple, use an array of plots, each consisting of a cluster of xy data.
 
If you want to get rid of the retrace in a single plot, insert data with NaN between the two parts. A NaN will break the interpolation line.
