Hi august,

a chart only stores a certain history of values. Once the history buffer "flows over" you will have an updated start time.

You may switch off autoscaling of the x axis, but then your data will be off-screen (if this is possible at all)...

When I untick autoscaling, it doesn't work anymore

Hi august,

it still works, data is just off-screen... 😄

Using a chart may be easy to start with, but has it's shortcomings. Choose for yourself!

I agree with GerdW's comment on charts. It is difficult to get Charts to do much beyond the default behavior.

You might want to consider using a "Graph" instead. This would require buffering the data in an array or something and then drawing the graph each time there is an update. You will have much more direct control over the outcome. There are a number of examples on the NI site showing how to do this.
