Add a Method to Access Strip Chart Data

[Al.B]

Currently, there is no way to access the historical data on a stripchart.  The only way to manage this data is to maintain a separate buffer and update it whenever you add data to the strip chart, which is inefficient and tedious. Accessing data is possible for graph controls using the data attribute:

GetPlotAttribute (panel, PANEL_GRAPH, plotHandle, ATTR_PLOT_XDATA, &data);

 Something similar should be implemented for the strip chart, either as an attribute in the getTraceAttribute function, or as a standalone function (getTraceData, etc.)

Also need this function, to access the buffer of a strip chart. What is the status and intention from NI? 

I manage to do this in LabView 10+ years ago. It's a chame this kind of low-level data access is possible in LV and not in LW.
