Labeling the Digital Displays on a Chart

[tpascaru]

Hello All,

I have a chart with several plots on it. I would like the user to see the digital display for them. When I enable the digital displays, I get one for every plot, but they are not labeled. There doesnt seem to be a label menu available. Is there a way to get the digital display labeled outside of just annotating with the text tool?

Thank You,
-Ted

Hay Ted,

I tried out your scenario and I have the same thing happen.  If all else fails, you could make fake labels, or you could make a seperate display that is programatically connected to the chart.  But I programatically managed to make the labels show.  I have it attached.  You will input the name of the VI that contains the chart (make sure it is in edit mode), then press "Show Labels", which will show them.  Then, you can edit them.  You can also hide them, but remember you can only do this programatically.  The program is unlocked so you can see what I did.  The program was made into LabVIEW 7.0.  Hope it works!

Actually, I'll send another message when it is finished.  Sorry!  Expect it in about an hour.

Your welcome (I didn't know I could make programs in 20 minutes!).  By the way, I realized I had a bug.  So here is the fix (it is saved in LabVIEW 7.0).
