add a timed strip chart

The current strip charts display data a fixed intervals.  If I want to plot data that is collected at inconsistent intervals I have to use a XY chart and record the paired data.  How about creating a strip chart that displays the data against the time it was added to the plot?  The program provides the Y value and the x value is just the time the data was plotted.  The plot could have a time constant for the entire window much like the scroll rate used in actual paper chart recorders (e.g. 1 cm/minute).  In other words, one could configure the chart to have a span of 1 hour.  After an hour, data would get "pushed" off the end etc..

I just made a quick nugget here: Sporatic Waveform Chart

Now I just have to figure out how to get this to work with multiple plots....

Looks like something is wrong with your chart.  I suggest starting a new thread in the LabVIEW board to figure out this issue.

Yes!!! Kudoos.

However it is a duplicate of my idea, see http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW-Idea-Exchange/Charts-with-quot-non-evenly-spaced-quot-timestamp-per-...

(My headline probably is a not-so-good one. The idea did not catch on Smiley Wink)

 

I am really surprised LabVIEW does not have charts that behave as the suggested idea.

Moreover, I am surprised no one seems to bother!

 

I even had collegues -unfamiliar with LabVIEW- doubting this NI software could be taken seriously for not having this obvious chart functionality.

 

There is a workaround though, already pointed out by crossrulz.

I just posted to the other thread why I believe this request to be a bad idea to ever add to LabVIEW. This idea will be closed as a duplicate of that one.

@AristosQueue,

[..]this request to be a bad idea to ever add to LabVIEW[..].

Now that you understand want is meant with the idea (as pointed pointed out in the other thread), could you consider changing this reply?

Reply is still "closed as duplicate". But with the clarification in the other thread, yes, I can see the utility of the idea.
