Plotting acquired data in Labview.

I have written a .vi to stream data from 12 sensors to a PC near our test stand.  The data is streamed "real-time" at approximately 2 Hz.  We perform some operations on our test stand and then take a reading by pressing a button on the front panel.  When the reading is taken it is currently built into a tabular format on the front panel. 

 

After this data point has been "captured" I would like to plot (x vs y) in a series of plots.  After I capture each data point I would like the plots to automatically update with the new data point.  Does anyone have any ideas on how I could do this?

 

Is there a way to have the plots on different "tabs" so I can select the tab of the plot that I would like to monitor.  I have attached the .vi.

 

Thanks.

Ron

From what I heard, is it possible to just record the data on acquisition and save it to a lvm and read it out the afterwards from there, not your table?

RE: From what I heard, is it possible to just record the data on acquisition and save it to a lvm and read it out the afterwards from there, not your table?

 

Yes, you can save the data into an lvm file using "Save to ASCII/LVM Express VI" (http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/372416B-01/sndvibtk/save_to_ascii_lvm/) and then read from it (http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/1773).
