Measurement Studio WaveFormGraph Axes Captions

[CraigByrd]

Can measurement studio waveform graph axes caption be programmatically modified?  And if not, then why not?

Hi CraigByrd

Yes, you should be able to edit waveform graph axis captions at runtime. Are you using a Windows Form Application or a WPF Application?

Thank you for your quick response.

I am developing an NI VISA Windows Application using Visual Studio 2010.

Hi CraigByrd

You should be able to set the property at runtime by typing the following:

<Object instance of your waveform plot here>.XAxis.Caption="Insert Text Here";

Thanks to your solution repsonse I was able solve the problem.

It turns out the X & Y captions were not part of the wave form graph , but rather a separate xAxis1 and yAxis1 were present in the form1.Designer.cs file as shown below:

//
// wfgPLOT
//
this.wfgPLOT.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(689, 371);
this.wfgPLOT.Name = "wfgPLOT";
this.wfgPLOT.Plots.AddRange(new NationalInstruments.UI.WaveformPlot[] {
this.waveformPlot1});
this.wfgPLOT.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(754, 337);
this.wfgPLOT.TabIndex = 15;
this.wfgPLOT.UseColorGenerator = true;
this.wfgPLOT.XAxes.AddRange(new NationalInstruments.UI.XAxis[] {
this.xAxis1});
this.wfgPLOT.YAxes.AddRange(new NationalInstruments.UI.YAxis[] {
this.yAxis1});
//
// waveformPlot1
//
this.waveformPlot1.XAxis = this.xAxis1;
this.waveformPlot1.YAxis = this.yAxis1;
//
// xAxis1
//
this.xAxis1.Caption = "Number of Readings";
//
// yAxis1
//
this.yAxis1.Caption = "Measured Value";

Thus the following code provided the solution.

// modifying default wave form graph Axis Caption follows

wfgPLOT.Caption = sTableName;
xAxis1.Caption = plotXlbl;
yAxis1.Caption = plotYlbl;

Thanks Again
