Horizontal reference line on waveform chart

Solved!
Go to solution

I have a waveform chart which i'd like to add a reference line for setpoint and deadband. I can't seem to find any property nodes for markers which can easily set reference markers due to requiring a cluster for the waveform data.

 

How would I go about adding a reference line?

Hi Patrick,

 

you just found one of the limitations of charts when compared with graphs…

 

Just add some more plots to use them as reference lines!

Best regards,
GerdW

Hello GerdW,

 

Thank you for the quick response. 

 

So essentially if i was charting a sine wave(amplitude from 0 to 10) and I wanted a reference point of 7 I would just chart the sine wave but also build a constant plot of 7's ontop of the sine wave? Merge them with a build array into waveform chart?

Hi Patrick,

 

Merge them with a build array into waveform chart?

Just look at the context help for your chart: it will show you the datatypes expected by your chart…

(You don't "merge" with BuildArray, you just build arrays by prepending/appending.)

Best regards,
GerdW
