How to automaticaly associates a scale to a curve within a legend

[CXR1]

Hello

I would like to automatically write the name of the scale related to a curve on  the legend, How can i do that

Having for example five curves on a report, curve 1 on scale1, curve é on scale 3, curve 3 and 4 on scale 2, and curve 5 on scale four, how can i build a text in legend stating curve 1: blablabla: scale 1, curve 2: blavblabla: scale 3, and so on and that automatically.

Many thanks for answer

Hi CXR1,

Thanks for posting here. There is a way to do it programmatically. I use property nodes here and create a reference on my graph. Have a look onto all the options that are accessible trough this way. And notice we have to set "active curve" each time we want to work on a different one. This kind of use are available in the training LabVIEW Basic II. You can came here and follow this course (maybe with me :D). Please give us a call if you are interested.

Best Regards

Hello,

Of course, We have planned to follow the training curse, somewhere in Q3, but the question has been asked now, and the answer can not be delayed up to that time.

If You can be more helpfull, it will be kind.

Myself i find a solution using the Y axis  parameter attached to the curve object, and putting the value to a global variable which can be used in the legend. But it is just a trick.

A+

Hello CXR1,

Here is a code that do what you want.

Enjoy 😄

Hello Mr Braud

I thank you for your reply, but I thougth i was asking question on the DIADEM blog not on the LABVIEW. It is very interesting for me to how to do what I want with LABVIEW, but it would much more intersting if it for DIADEM

Best regards,

Hi CXR1,

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by the "Y-scale".  Do you mean which Y axis each curve is associated with-- say on a graph with 3 Y axes and 2 curves on each Y axis (total of 6 curves)?  Or do you mean some other quantity (such as channel unit) which is related to the Y axis but is actually stored as a channel property?

Hello Brad,

I exactly mean I have for Instance 2 curves on Y axis 1,  3 on y axis 2  and so on.  I would like to use the legend to let the user know which curve is related to which Y Axis

Thank if you can reply
