Cursor Index property for Intensity Graph Y axis

[SteveP]

The Cursor Index property for an Intensity Graph is the index for the X data array, even if the cursor style is a horizontal line.  There does not appear to be a corresponding index available for the Y axis.  It can be computed by dividing the Cursor Y Position by the Y Scale Multiplier and truncating but is it perhaps available directly as the integer index ?

Yes, I agree this seems currently an unecessary limitation!

The "cursor index" property for intensity graphs should be an array containing the x and y index as elements (in analogy to e.g. the array min/max tool where the position output is an integer for 1D arrays, but an array of indices for higher array dimensions).

Please consider submitting this to the product suggestion center.

I also noticed that the cursor legend's sub-control (with the four diamond positions) that acts to move the cursor location when clicked on does not work for the Y axis on an intensity graph.  Clicking the left or right positions moves the cursor along the X axis, but the top and bottom positions do not move the cursor along Y.

This bug and the wish for Y cursor ondex both submitted to NI.

PS What is that small sub-control called ?

5 years later and there still seems to be only a cursor index property for the X axes Intensity Graph, instead of an array to access both X and Y cursor index as suggested by altenbach above. Am I right? If that's still the case I find it weird, that the property is called "cursor index" and not "X cursor index". Or does somebody know how to switch the cursor index to the Y-scale? Working with the cursor index property is just so much nicer than having to use the cursor position with deviding per points etc...

Agreed! Unfortunately still an open issue.

For those who happen to read this, here is an idea from 2009. Unfortunately it only gathered 14 kudos so far, so please vote for it!
