DISPLAY CHARTS

[Donajacob]

I am new to Labview and my project makes use of collecting data on a continuous base. I want to display the data but the chart is not that helpful as one I shift from one option to another the shift in data is too fast to be recorded or displayed. Is there anyway I can collect the data like every minute and plot it with time or anyother way to display the change in data.

The chart updates once per run of the VI. The VI does not seem complete. Shouldn't there be a toplevel while loop?

Are you using "continuous run" where the chart updates millions of times when empty cases are executed?

Please exaplain how the VI is supposed to be used and what it is supposed to do.

The chart is to plot the users power use. The code is being run continuous. I want to collect that data and plot it. As the user is given 3 options, I want to be able to see the difference.

That is not a valid way to run a VI, it is only a debugging tool!

As I said, use a toplevel while loop and define loop timing that us appropriate for your use.
