How to add names to the plot on a waveform chart using property nodes

Solved!
Go to solution

Hi 

 In my program I want to select 2 different plots on the waveform chart. I want to be able to show which data is on the plots when I select it. I included a photo of what I have. I added a second plot name  in the property node to see if that would work which it did not.  

Thanks for any help on this.

Use the ActivePlot property, then use the Plot.Name property.

Ben doing the broken record thing again...

 

If you use a Waveform Datatype, the attribute "NI_ChannelName" (verify with the help file for the spelling) allow the name to change "on the fly" without having muck about with property nodes.
