A Cursor List Control for the HomeBoyz

I wanted a Cursor List Control for use with a Waveform Graph, but I couldn't find one anywhere in the Controls Palette. So during a busy morning of data gathering, I took about an hour to write one by hand. [Since I'm getting to be pretty good at LabVIEW, I reckon I can bill about $250/hr for this stuff, so y'all appreciate your free software.]

Anyway, a Cursor List is an array of Cursor Property Clusters. The attached "Cursor List.vi" contains both a singleton Cursor Property Cluster and an Array of Cursor Property Clusters; the block diagram shows how to wire this array to the Waveform Graph's Cursor List property node.

An hour to write? Right click the graph and create a property node. Right click that and select Cursor List. Right click that and select Create Control.

I think that works out to about $2500/hr if you charge the same price for the same product.

I thought I was expensive!

Dude, your method rocks!

I went through and did it all by hand.

And it took me like half an hour to realize that you can't use static data types to initialize Cluster Controls - instead, you have to gather the components of the cluster together as controls themselves, and then drag and drop them into the Cluster Control.

Oh well, live and learn.
