question---where to find the cursor palette?

[Fan Zhang]

Hi,

I am trying to add cursors to my charts, but I just could not figure out how to find the cursor palette! I am using Labview 5.1, does the cursor palette come along with this version? Thanks.

Hi again,

I found out that waveform graph has cursor palette with it, but waveform chart does not. Is there any possiblity for me to add cursors to my waveform chart? Thanks.

Hi Fan,
unfortunately waveform chart
haven't cursors.
Therefore you have to do the following steps:
1 - create two graphs the first graph is strip chart
and the second graph is waveform graph with cursor.
2 - create attribute node for the first graph, attributes X scale min
and X scale max
3 - create attribute node for the second graph, attributes X-scale min,
X scale max, Cursor position.
Note the attributes of the first graph must be changed as Read and
the attributes of the second graph as Write.
4 - calculate cursor position as [(X scaleMax - X scaleMin)/2] + X
scaleMin
5 - connect attributes of the strip chart to the attributes of the
waveform graph
6 - make all elements of the waveform graph as transparent (color)
Note cursor color not transparent
7
- put the second graph (waveform graph) on the strip chart

I checked this algorithm, it's working.
Hope it help you
Mike

Hi Fan,
see attached file. It's an example.

Is it still possible to do it with LabView 8.6? I'm not able to make the graph background transparent.

Thanks, Fabio.

Hello,

I would be interested in having a newer example too.

I'm using LabVIEW 8.5.

Adding cursor to strip chart "out of the box" could be very usefull.

Kind regards

Can someone please convert this examle suitable to labview 8.6 version.

Do you know what the equivalent of Step 4 would be if I superposed a Mixed Signal Graph (as opposed to a Waveform Graph, which is what you suggested) onto the Waveform Chart? I ask because I want to use multi-plot cursors.
