Annotation List for Multiple Plots on a Graph Using LabVIEW

[EadieU]

Overview

This VI shows how to use many of the properties of the Annotation List for multiple plots on a graph

Description

Annotating graphs with text and other explanatory material can improve the graph's ability to convey information. This VI shows how to use many of the properties of the Annotation List for multiple plots on a graph. It works with 3 plots, but the behavior and indexing is the same for more or fewer plots

Requirements

LabVIEW 2012 or compatible

Steps to Implement or Execute Code 

1. Run the VI
2. Change the Annotation Mode to change where the arrow point snaps to:

     0 = snap to Position on the XY graph

     1 = snap to Index point of the specified Plot

3. Press Create to get a new random plot
4. To stop the VI, Press STOP

Excellent example which makes me understand the differences between index and position of the cursor property.
