Change the labels from Plot0, Plot1... to user defined labels

In Labview (using Continuous Acquisition to Spreadsheet VI), I am graphing a test using 16 thermocouples. The names of the curves defaulted to Plot0, Plot1, Plot2.... I want to change the plot names to something meaningful, like TopCenter, MiddleLeft, BottomRear.... Can I do this and how? I've searched with no luck. Thanks in advance.

Hi Willard,

If you want to set fixed names you simply can change them in the plot legend and save your vi.

If you want to do it progammatically, you should use the chart properties ActivePlot to select which plot you want to change the name and Plot.Name to set its name.
Here's a simple example.

Good luck,

Alberto
