Overview
This example lets the user select which channels they want to see on the plot.

Description
Each of these channels has a different Y scale that becomes visible when that channel is selected.  Each channel also has a different color that matches the Y scale color for easy reference.
This example can be modified to include many more plots by adding channels to the DAQmx Task and adding a boolean control and color selector for each additional channel. We can also substitute the DAQmx part with other signal source.

Requirement
LabVIEW 8.6 or compatible
NI-DAQmx 9.0 or compatible

Steps to Implement

  1. Configure physical channel from DAQ devices or simulated devices.
  2. Run VI.
  3. Toggle Channel Boolean Button to show plot based on the selection.
