Axis options in chart

Hello everyone, I am a new LabVIEW user and I am using version 8.20

I am trying to do a real-time plot of voltage vs. temperature but I cannot find the correct chart that I need.  I have two sets of data (voltage and temp.) that I want to plot on a chart, but I cannot find a chart where I can specify the axes.  I want to be able to specify temperature for the x-axis and voltage for the y-axis (like you are able to do with the express xy graph vi).  I cannot use the express xy vi because graphs do not remember past data points and I want a continuous voltage curve over a range of temperatures.

I know the answer is probably very simple but I've spent two days trying to figure this out by using bundles and such with no luck.

The Express XY Graph is perfectly capable of remembering past data points. There is an input called Reset, The default value for this is true. Wire a false constant to it. You can also look up the shipping example called XY Chart. It uses a subVI to make an XY Graph behave just like a chart with a history size that you can specify.
