Plotting the x,y coordinates of a sensor(s) every time it is triggered.

Hello,

I have a set of eight touch sensors underneath a surface located in a 4x2 grid configuration. When the area above the sensor is touched, a 1 is returned. If it is not being touched, a 0 is returned. Each of these sensors has its own unique x,y coordinates. I would like LabView to scan the array containing the zeros and ones and plot a point on an x,y graph each time  a sensor is triggered so that I can track the motion an object across a surface. If anyone would be willing to point me in the right direction that would be great. Thank you very much.

Am I to assume by the lack of answers that this is not possible in Labview? Please let me know. Thank you.

It certainly is possible in LabVIEW.  It's an extremely powerful program.

You basically just need to associate predefined coordinates (for your graph) to the data points that you read.  Then, when you get a 1 in that spot, you plot that point.  There is an abundant amount of information about XY Graphs (I would start with the context/detailed help in LabVIEW).
