I need to blink the Datapoints in XY graph.

I'm attaching the VI. There is 3 more SubVI's. If its required then I will attach it.

Here is a horrifically messy implementation of Altenbach's solution, along with an example snippet (slightly less horrifically wired) showing the same idea. I believe he has a cleverer way of detecting odd and even iterations, but I don't remember it. If you're good with bit-shifting, that might be an alternative (but I guess then you need number to boolean, or a case structure instead of Select).

Edit: Perhaps it's to take ('i' AND 1)? That produces a flickering 0,1 pair that can be compared with 0.

no need to swap data

and for a 1s interval I strongly recommend only a changing color..

You can also use the plot visible property to make it blink.

I am attaching the screenshot of Front Panel.

In those graphs, Data points are represented red in color. I want to blink those dots whenever the real time values changes. ie. 1sec. I can't attach my VI flie cause I'm using SQL server for fetching data. So its of no use if I upload my VI. Thanks in Advance.

Those connecting lines are blinking using Property node but i want those dots or data points to blink! Thanks.

My guess: You choosed the wrong property 😄

In my picture earlier I posted a picture of the properties you need to choose:

first you need to select the active plot (starting with zero, so I assume in your picture the second plot (No.1) is the red one.

next ist the Plot>Fill/Point Color property

To have only the data points blinking you need to have 2 plots. One with no interpolation between the data points and the other one with interpolation but with point style set to none. You can then have only the data points blinking.

No, no need for a second plot !  😄 😄

Even no need for an graph update

EDIT: Version 2 with a XY graph... makes no difference 😉

Great, you can select T (for transparent) as one of the colors,  that way it will replicate an on/off blinking.

Or change the point style property , or .... or ...
