Problem with Mixed Signal Graph cursor LV 2013

Solved!
Go to solution

 I'm trying to create a feature that puts the location of the cursor to a specific point on the x axis. When I'm not sending the value, the cursor behaves normally. When I send the value (even when using a constant) the cursor will keep oscillating between previous position and position entered in property node.

 

This doesn't happen when using an XY graph, only with a multi signal. Is this a glitch or am I doing something patently wrong? Below is a snippet from my BD.

I forgot something, The cursor legend retains the values from the previous position, it does not update to the location I put into the prop node.

Do you by any chance have the cursor to snap to a plot. That might cause it to move temporarily and then snap back. Why do you keep setting the same things over and over again (cursor visible, for example). Stop doing that to see if it makes a difference too.

Mike,

 

I'm not sure what you mean by "snap to a plot".

 

Removing the redundancies doesn't help. Sorry about the mess. I didn't feel like making it pretty for y'all, after all, it's Friday 😉

If you right click on the cursor one of the options you can set is whether it snaps to a particular plot, a particular point or neither.

Can you create a simple subset of your app that exhibits the effect?

One other thing, it only does it with the cursor set to Multi-Plot, it works okay with Single Plot.

Here is a truncated version of the problem, essentially I'm taking data from a csv file and graphing it. The feature finds the row position of where a fault occurs, and allows the user to go directly to that place in the data.

 

Even in this version I still have the issue. The cursor keeps wanting to go to its previous location.

 

Any help is welcome.
