Im New to LabVIEW. Is it possible to send signal to more than one plot on a chart using the value property node of the chart

[bwc1]

I am new to LabVIEW. Iam trying to display two plots on a chart using the charts value property node. i have tried feeding the two signals into a merge signal then into the value property node but this didnt work. Then i tried building an array from the two signals and feeding it into the value propery node. this didnt work. What am i missing,should i be using the value property node in this way ?

I don't know what kind of chart you are using, but there is an XY graph example in the LabVIEW examples that shows how to have 2 plots.

I am using a waveform chart. The problem i am having is righting signal values to the different plots using the value reference node for the chart. I have seen the example you mentioned but this doesnt involve multiple plots using reference node. thanks anyway

sorry about spelling i meant writing not righting

Are you able to have more than one plot if you try to write to the chart directly instead of using the value property node?

Using the property node has nothing to do with being able to do this. You need to package the data appropriately. Look at the graphs example that ships with LabVIEW. It answers your questions. Also read the LabVIEW Help. It also answers your question.

ok thankyou

I notice with the XY graph that on the block diagram it is initially colored brown for cluster. I created a property node for it.

I packaged the data properly but I get a broken line when I wire that data to the property node.

Yet, when I wire that data directly to the XY graph icon, the XY graph icon automatically turned pink and the wire did not break.The property node also changed to pink.

It seems that the XY graph originally presumes a single plot.

I created a similar thing with a chart this does the same

I have created a VI with a waveform chart on its own. If i connect it directly to a cluster it work fine. If i connect it via a property node it does not
