Errors with multi-plot cursors on Mixed Signal graphs

Using a Mixed Signal graph, it seems that a multi-plot cursor does not snap correctly if XScale.Multiplier is not set to 1 - it seems to ignore it altogether.  A single-plot cursor on the same graph does not have this problem.  Am I missing something?

In the attached VI, XScale.Multipler = 0.1, and Cursor 1 (Single-Plot) shows the correct value, but Cursor 2 (Multi-plot) does not.

Sorry, meant to say that this is LabVIEW 8.0.1

Hello,

The behavior I see is that the multi-plot cursor which is snapped to plot 0 seems to generally follow an "imaginary plot" which corresponds to a scaled version of plot 0, where the scale factor is the value wired to the XScale.Multiplier property.  I don't think this is desired behavior so I have filed a corrective action request to R&D to have this addressed.  I am sorry for the inconvenience - hopefully you can live with an X-scale multiplier of 1, or the single plot cursors for the time being.  It also takes the offset property similarly, offsetting the "imaginary plot" by whatever value is set there.

In any event, if this poses a significant problem with additional contingencies, please let me know and I'll be sure to include any updated information in the corrective action request!

Thank you,

Best Regards,

JLS

JLS - Thanks, can't ask for more than that!  I can work around it, but it would be great to have it fixed.

The only other limitation I've found with Mixed Signal graphs is not having the Cursor Events as one does with Waveform Graphs - but that's a new addition all round, so I guess it might get added at some stage.
