Simple chart with time as X-Axis

[RTSLVU]

Charts and graphs in LabView have been driving me nuts for years. What I would like to see is a simple chart (maybe even an "Express Chart") that has a single dimensional array input and a timestamp input. Values in the array would automatically be plotted on their own plot and the time stamp would be put in the X-axis starting from the left. An option to just use the current time if no timestamp was input and amount of data displayed on the X-axis can be adjusted on the fly by setting the X-axis TIME/DIV

Yes, you can certainly use the waveform tools to manipulate the waveform chart.  However, the chart still has issues with negative X values and I haven't figured out how to draw vertically, like, say a circle, for example (can't get plots over an X value that is already passed).  My XY CHART suggestion:

(almost the same thing as this topic)

should allow this to happen just like an XY graph, only more efficiently if showing the plots update each iteration.  How about trying to make a vertical chart?  I know a few industries that use vertical charts for many applications.  You can't tell me that NI isn't interested in making MORE money in the Oil and Gas industry than they already do...  lol

An XY Chart should make vertical charts an easy implementation too!
