How to toggle plots on a waveform chart/graph?

[Diural]

Hello,

I would like to have 2+ arrays that I can show on a waveform chart or graph at the same time, and also I would like to have a push button on the front panel to toggle on/off the plots whenever I need it. The arrays are static thus their is no constant data acquisition.

I am having trouble not only when trying to show 2+ plots on the same chart/graph but also when I am trying to toggle them on/off. I am fairly new to LV and been using it for the last month, thus I would appreciate if someone explains using simple LV terms.

Cheers,

Diural

What have you tried?

Where are you stuck?

On plot visibility: did you enable the "plot visibility" checkmarks in the plot legend using the context menu (aka right-click menu) of your chart/graph?

On "2+ plots": the context help for charts and graphs shows the expected datatypes for single plot and multiple plots…

Hello Gerd,

Thanks for dropping by, I am attaching what I tried (3 tries), I have solved the issue of showing 2 plots on 1 graph (just created a new array from previous arrays and it worked). I am attaching my try VIs as LV2021 and LV2012.

Cheers,

I am trying to just show all the plots (in my case 9) on a single waveform graph or waveform chart. I would like to use somesort of button (trying with push buttons right now) to choose which plot to show. Example: Show plots 1-3-4-7-9.

Your example text only contains 2 plots…

• When trying to show 9 plots then you should not limit your code to only create 2 plots using all those Array functions. Use a loop to create your plots to make your code more scalable…
• When trying to make plots visible you should use the Plot.Visible property instead of DigitalDisplaysVisible! You can also make the visibility checkbox in the plot legend visible (as said before)…
