Mixed signal graph

[ThHagel]

Hello,

I'm using a Mixed Signal Graph in my LabVIEW 8.6.1 Application and I have some problems with the Y-Scales. They move to the wrong spot as soon the number length changes after a autoscale or manual zoom operation.

I found a promising thread in this forum and I tried to fix this problem with that info:

http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&message.id=418980&query.id=145893#M418980

I finally gave up. The scales do even more unexpected things if I try to move them into the right place using the properties.

Pleas try my test vi and let me know if you have a clue how to fix this problem.

Thanks in advance,

Thomas

Hey Thomas,

I have found this can be resolved by padding the scale format with zeros.

Right click the Y-Axis and click "Properties" then click "Display Format".

Then selecting each of the Y-Axis in turn, change the "Digits" to select the accuracy required and deselect "Hide trailing zeros".

This will then move the Y label out of vision to correct this expand the left border of the graph then any zoom and auto scale should work.

I shall try and get a workaround using property nodes working for you today that only shows significant figures.

I have also attached the adjusted version of your graph.

Let me know this Helps, Philip

Hello Philip,

thanks a lot for your work on this problem and for your answer.

I think I will use your suggested solution, but I think it doesn't solve the real problem (and of course the scale doesn't look the way I planed). That MixedSignalGraph has even more problems with the Y-Scales as soon as the Plot-Legend is enabled. And the problems only show up as soon as you have more than one plot area. My plan was to use the plot-legend but after I had those problems the legend was the first thing I disabled.

Please take a look to the front panel of the VI I attached.

So I guess, we need to search for another workaround that solve the real problem. And I also would like to find out why using the property nodes lead to that strange behavior demonstrated with my first test vi.

Is their an knight of NI out their who knows what to do to fix this. 

Thanks for any further support,

Thomas

Hey Thomas,

With regards to resisizing the graph using property nodes.

This was reported to R&D (#127779) for further investigation.

Thanks for the feedback!

Also with regards to
resizing the legend resulting in the Y-axis labels not moving correctly.
This was reported to R&D (#155249) for further investigation.
And again thank you for the feedback.

Hello Thomas,

I can confirm that the issues discussed above have been resolved for the following version of LabVIEW due for release.

I hope this helps.

Hello,

I have a question concerning the bugs found in LV8.6 or before (like mixed graph or 3D graph,.. I just found one on native 3D graph in LV 8.6). What is done by NI to "patch" the previous versions ?

As I understand it : I purchased a licence  (actually 4 licences)for LV 8.6 and the bugs found in it are not corrected in 8.6 but I am forced to purchase th LV9.0 ?! Please explain me if you consider this is fair ?!
