Better Propery Node Descriptions

How can I get more information about data that needs to be sent to a Property Node. For example, when I right click the node "Cursor List"(a Property for Charts), and select "Help for Cursor List" I get a help window that tells me "Array of info of all cursors. Each array element is a cluster of cursor properties." Well thats nice. But it gives me no example of how the cluster is formatted. I have no idea what data to send. How can I find out this information?

Thanks,
Glen D

Glen D;

Yeah, more documentation will be great. However, I can tell you that eventually you will (kind of) understand what is going on. Don't ask me how, I guess is experience.

In the meantime, usually what I do is that I change the property to "Read", create an indicator and run the VI to see what's going on. Sometimes by just creating the indicator you can tell what is its purpose. Also, each element in the cluster may be documented.

In your specific case, I think can be properties like type (arrow, selection, busy, etc.).

I hope this help.
