Dinamically handle legend names using property nodes

[o_ptr]

I must plot multiple temperature - time datasets on a XY Graph. Now plotting works perfectly fine, however when I try to stup the legend name using property nodes, it gives error if I use something like in the first image. It seems that "ActPlot" property can't acces values bigger as 1. Works perfectly fine only for two plots.

I have tried to use a for, as in fig. 2, it does not work. It crashes everytime ActPlot hits 2.

Suggestions or advices?

Hey,

Please test the attached VI (saved in 8.2) to set the plot names, use it as a SubVI.

Btw, in your second picture you have connected 3 to the N terminal of the for-loop AND and autoindexed array with 3 elements.

Thank you! Your solution works!

Yeah, I see the error in the second image. Anyway, problem solved!

Could you offer a hint that does not require LV?

Thanks!  I knew it HAD to be there somewhere!  I just couldn't find it in the properties.

How does one access a graph reference? I'm trying to link your vi to my graph but can't seem to be able to figure out how.

Nevermind! figured it out!
