waterfall graph

[sergsergserg]

Is it possible to create a watefall graph with Labwindows-CVI? The only examples I see use labview. The only possible way I see is using activex 3d graph. Is this correct?

You might wish to post to the CVI board, as you will be more likely to get a relevant answer.

Hi sergsergserg,

There is no native waterfall graph in CVI. Three workarounds exist at the moment:

• Use a CW3DGraph from the ActiveX control palette. Each plot of 2D data could be plotted in a plane defined by a constant. For example, if I was plotting y1 = sin (x) and y2 = cos(x), I could graph one plot on z = 1 and the other at z = 2. With the 3D Graph positioned well, this would result in a waterfall graph.
  

• Create a DLL from a LabVIEW ActiveX control, for instance the LabVIEW Sound and Vibration Toolkit has the graph as an ActiveX control. You could build it into a DLL from LabVIEW and then call that from CVI. This would require both LabVIEW and the SVT Toolkit.
  

• Use a 3rd party ActiveX control
