Select active cursor in labview 8

[Cycy]

Hi,

I want to use 2 cursors in an XY plot and then use the value of cursor0 - cursor1. However, I don't know how to use the labview 8 property node and cannot select the cursor I want the value from. How can I select this?

Thank you

Hi Cycy,

To create a property node right click on the graph icon in the block diagram and select create -> property node -> active cursor.  Once you have the active cursor property node, right click on it and select "Change to write".  This will allow you to input 1 or 0 into the property node which will selects the two cursors. 

You can read or write the position of the cursor using cursor value property node.

Hi,

It would be very helpful to me if you show how to do that. Because I am a beginner in Labview I will be very grateful if you show me a picture of your result and the VI diagram. Thanks in advance.

It could have been better if you post your specific question by creating new thread and what you tried and where you are stuck.

-If you want to get the Cursor value read here : http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/A863CB03C24BEF9B8625742D0081CFAF

-If you want an example on Graph cursors: Open Labview->Help-> Find Examples->Search for graph Cursors.

I have a problem. I want to change the style and number of arrow in the "Cursor Legend" I just need "left and right" and of course it would be very useful to change that interface. I've already make some arragement that I would like to appear. First I thought that I could change the style of those arrow then my group of research told me that it's necessary to appear a "Slide Control" in order to control the "CURSOR" in the Waveform Graph it also needs to change the value with those arrow but I've tried many times and without results. If you can help me with that, you definetely be the one!
