My labels on a waveform graph are changing text color or visibility status. I know they are there because they are blocking the grid line. Any suggestions?

I am using the label feature for the waveform graph, at various time while I am plotting some of my labels are not showing up. They are actually there because they block out my grid lines, but the text color is being set to black or a visibility property is not being set. Has any one else seen this problem? I would really appreciate any help on this matter?

Well, the default color for labels is black. Are you manually changing the color to something else and the change isn't being saved? Are you sure the LV code in the application isn't playing with the color property? Mike...

Thanks for the suggestion. That was my thought too. I have both Cursor properties: “Color” and “Visible” set each time I plot a cursor on the graph. I definitely think it has something to do with the color property. The intended cursor color is supposed to be yellow. One time when I was messing around, I changed the color setting to a green color, then ran the program and the change had taken effect like it should have. Then, later I switched everything back to yellow and ran the program again. The cursors were all there, plotting in yellow like they should be, but then all of the sudden two of the cursors were in the old green color. Then the color switched back to yellow.

I have double-checked all of the locations whe
re I set this property. I have the cursor plotting vi as a sub vi. The main vi calls it and uses a reference node to link it back to the wave form graph. Perhaps I am missing something in setting the parameters for a referenced property. Or, possibly there is another property that I have over looked that needs to be set?

Again, Mike Thanks for the help. I’d appreciate any more suggestions you can offer….Sarah

Just double check everything for possible race conditions. Properties can be funny things in that they are sometimes persistent even though you don't explicitly save the VI. Perhaps something is happening there.
