In LV6i popup on the graph and in the advanced pullright, there is an
item to turn off the cursor scrolling. In older versions there is an
ini setting that you can use.

I'm very interested in disabling the cursor scroll capability but I'm confused by your answer. I've never seen the item you are talking about in any graph in LabView 6i. Can you be a little more descriptive? I tried to find it in every graph I have in the Graph Pallette, to no avail. Labview does give you the ability to lock the cursor to the plot, but users can still mess up the X and Y axises if they drag their cursor a little to far. Please be more specific in your fix to this problem.

Thanks.

I could be confused by the version number. The item is definitely in
6.1. Popup on a graph, the plot area is probably the largest and
easiest to hit. Go to the Advanced item and see what is there. The
bottom item in my version
can be checked or unchecked to enable and
disable scrolling when a cursor gets to the edge of the graph.

If you do not have the menu item, add the following to your .ini file.

scrollGraphCursors= FALSE;

or

scrollGraphCursors: FALSE;

depending on your platform.

Greg,
I've got version 6.0.2, (LabView 6i) and can't find the item you've mentioned, so it must be in 6.1. Thanks for the help with the INI File information though.
