Graphing 9213 Thermocouple Input

[jstrike21]

I am using a 9213 to collect thermocouple data. After getting aquainted with the "Thermocouple - Continuous Input.vi" example provided byy NI, I have noticed that the graph will display a number of samples over a short period of time then erase and show another set of samples. I am trying to get a continuous graph that will show all samples taken from the moment you start aquiring.

I have been testing out ways to do this and it seems like I am over-complicating things. I am thinking there should be an easy way to do this, any ideas?

Replace the graph with a chart.

I am hoping to capture around 3 hours data per channel at 5 or 10 second intervals, is it bad practice to have a chart history length that large?

You just have to have enough memory to hold the history, but I would reccomend saving the data to a file.  You never know what might happen during that 3 hours and you could lose all the data.
