hi there

to collect scalar data in an array you can use a so called "Shift register". To display the history of scalar data you can use a Waveform Chart (not a "Graph", a "Chart"). See attachments. because i can't save the vi as 5.1 i appended some screenshots of the front panel and the block diagramm.
