Hello dear Labview colleagues,
I'm using a microchip dspic30f4011 MCU to send an external signal to my computer, and then using LabVIEW to monitor the waveform. However, in my program, the values in the read buffer are fluctuating, but I can't see anything on the waveform. I'd like to ask what could be causing this. Thank you.
Solved! Go to Solution.

This is my program.

Are you plotting on a Chart or a Graph? Charts have a built in buffer so you can send one sample at a time and it'll draw just fine, with a Graph you'll have to build an array in memory and plot it all.

Oh, you can't plot the VISA ref! You have to convert the pink string-wire!

I use a signal generator to transmit signals to the computer via an MCU, and then use LabVIEW to monitor them.
I don't understand what you mean.

Use the pink wire, the purple wire is the visa reference.
If this does not work, show the sender code from the MCU.

I tried your method and successfully saw the waveform in LabVIEW. Thank you very much.
