How do i plot more points on a xy graph in Labview?

I'm currently using Labview Express 7.0. My application is reading voltages from a mass spectrometer and I'm graphing the intensity against mass in amus sent to the mass spectrometer. The problem is that my xy graph will not graph more than 100 points, when it reaches a 100 points plotted, it stops running. I would like to know if there is a way to make the graph plot more than 100 points. I have looked and messed around with the properties for quite some time but can't figure out any way to increase the amount of points on the graph.

Hi Nick

There are no internal limitation for 100 points in LabView 7.0 for x-y graph.

So the problem is more on your side.
Check that your X-scale range is set to automatic
Check that you are saving more than 100 points

check that you are not using a "chart" instead of a "X-Y graph".
If so, use an X-y graph or increase the buffer size

Cheers

duplicate thread. Granted that your original post should have been to the LabVIEW board but it's still considered a bradch of protocol to have two separate threads on the same subject.

Sorry about the double post, but i did figure out what i was doing wrong. I was being dumb and didnt notice that i had the iterations set for a hundred on my for loop. I have figured it out, thanks for the help.
