Hello- I currently have a VI that reads in information through the DAQ Assistant into two waveform charts (load vs. time and displacement vs. time). I would like to be able to take this information and plot another chart (load vs. displacement). I have converted the dynamic data sets from the waveform charts into two arrays (load and displacement), and then bundled them into an array of clusters. I have tried adding a waveform chart to the array of clusters, however it does not appear to be plot. (This is all located in a loop so that it should constantly update as the test is being performed.) I would appeciate any help you may have. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you for your time.

A chart is just wrong if you want to plot one array against another. That is what an XY Graph is for. Just take your existing arrays and bundle them together. If you turn on Context Help (and it really should be on all of the time) on the block diagram and move your mouse over the graph, it shows you exactly how to wire the data. Since a graph has no history, you will have to implement that if necessary. There's an example called XY chart or simply search the board. Numerous examples that use a couple of shift registers. The Express XY Graph can be used as well. Don't know why you want this in a separate loop. Placing it next to your chart writes would make as much sense.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to answer forum questions in the future.

Or buy a brew for all on this thread.
