The original VI was created with Labview 7.1 now I have upgraded to Labview 8. I experienced a problem in 7.1 that I would like to know if there is an easy fix for in 8.0. The xy plot that is created using buffer (displacement vs load) clears when I have completed a test. Is there anyway to keep the xy plot displayed until the next test is run. The data is being collected continuously but is only stored when a trigger value from the machine is reached.
