How do I make a continuous X-Y graph with an array as input?

I want to create an X-Y graph with a reference time (double) as one variable and the other is a double data type. How can I create a continuous graph on an X-Y graph with these variables? I have only been using Labview for 2 months so if you have any suggestions please go easy on the technical terms.

TIA,
Kevin

LabVIEW what several options for displaying data. A waveform chart is great if you receive one point at a time and want to plot the data in series. A waveform graph is good for plotting arrays in a time series fashion. An xy plot is good for connecting points that do not occur in a series. This plot offers the most flexibility in graphing points with different x values.

It is often hard to keep what structure goes two what display option. As a cheat, I right click on the chart in the block diagram and slide the mouse to create >> (either a constant or control). This way you can get a model for the data you want to input.

You may also want to look at the shipping examples that come with LabVIEW. In LabVIEW 6.1, goto help >> find examples >> fundamen
tals >> graphs and charts.
