Continuous XY graph with real time and data

[altenbach]

Why do you have two FOR loops? One is enough!

Since you don't have an outer while loop, it seems that you are tring to use the "run continously" button. Don't! That is exclusively a debugging tool, not a normal way to run a VI.

As I said, just accumulate your data in a shift register and graph it. Do you have problems with that?

I think this KnowledgeBase Article might be useful for you:

You can download the VIs in the demo in a zip file at the bottom of the page.

You can modify the XY-Graph as Chart Demo.vi to input the converted time double and replace the Wait function to one of your liking.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for your help! I did not know there was a function of that sort! 

The X-value is based on the iteration number. Is there a way to change that to match the REAL TIME? Perhaps using a Get Time/Date time stamp or something?

You've already been shown how to convert a time to a numeric for display on the x axis. You would need to change the formatting of the axis to time display.

It seems your sampling in the example is regular so s normal chart would work. You just set the offset and multiplier with a property node.
