Configure history size for Express XY graph

Status: Declined

Any idea that has received less than 5 kudos within 5 years after posting will be automatically declined.

I think the usability of the express xy graph (i.e. Built XY graph express VI) could be improved if we could configure a fixed history buffer if "clear data between calls" is unchecked, similar to what we have for charts. There is a need for xy charts and this would provide an easy to use solution.

 

Currently, unchecking the "clear data" option is dangerous, because untimately the system can run out of memory.

 

(While we are at it, the "Built XY graph" express VI, is also a bit stale in the code. I would prefer if it could be rewritten with a globally initialized feedback node instead of the local varaible and first run logic. If we have a globally initialized feedback node, the local variable and first run primitive are no longer needed, making for cleaner code.)
