how to add an automatic cursor on an xy-graph

Solved!
Go to solution

hello, I was wondering if there were any property nodes on a graph that would alow for a cursor to autmatically scroll across a graph... basically, I'm loading a bunch of static data to an xy-graph.  And I want a straight line, perpendicular to the x-axis, to move across my static data, updating once a second... so I have an hour of static data, and I would like a cursor to move once a second across my data... I can't get a property node to do it... any suggestions?

 

much thanks!

First you need to add a cursor then use the property node for the position, like this

There are properties for ActCrsr (active cursor) and Cursor.PosX that you could use.

Thanks for the responses... is there anyway to do this without adding the cursor legend? I just want the plot to display, and I can't get the property nodes to work, here's a simple VI of whatI'm trying to do... well it's not working, but that's what I'm tryign to use

You need to create the cursor first, select visible items> cursor legend, then add the cursor right click in the cursor legend create cursor, and finally you hide the cursor legend
