How can I read all values for Y with Multi-Plot cursor

Hello,

 

I am trying to make a software which will be able to process the data form two charts. I wan to use cursors to read the data from the charts.

Here is my issue. When I try to read out the value with CrsrList property it returns only the value for the first chart. I can see the two values on the Cursor Legend, but I can use only the first one.

How can I use one cursor to read and use values from many charts?

 

I have read few answers in different topics in the forum but I find them difficult to understand. I hope to get an example here.

Attached is the VI from the picture.

You can use the cursor index (either extract from cursor list, or just use the individual property). Use this to index all the values from your original data array.

Hi Rufledore,

 

If you check the help of CrsrList you will see that the output is an array of clusters:

So if you take an element of the array, you will get info of one of the cursors (no index means the first cursor). I believe it will be all clear once you check the VI attached.

Good luck with your project!

I know this is old but I am having the same issue and the replies so far are not correct in this case.  How can you get all values for  multiplot cursor? this is different to multiple cursors which you do by indexing.  It also seems that it is not possible to set the number of rows visble in the cursur view like you can for the plot legend. Are there solutions to these?

Thanks
