Multiple Plot Legends

I have a plot that has 56 waveforms being plotted and this makes the plot legend very large, does anyone have a technique to have multiple legends on a plot?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Hans,

 

just an idea: you could create your own (array of) cluster to build your own legend (showing name, plot color, whatever you want)...

Thanks for your responce,

I have built a plot legend that I manipulate to make visible the waveform that is of interest at any point in time, but the problem is still that the legend must contain all 56 waveforms and the size of the legend makes it awkward to scroll down the front panel in search of a particular waveform. I would like to have 4 groups of 12 waveforms + 1 group for the rest of the waveforms. But I have not been successfull in finding a technique to divide the waveforms in multiple legends for one plot.

 

 

Currently LV8.6.1 on XP

Thanks

Although Awkward to use you could look at the mixed signal graphs, this allows for grouping of waveforms in a tree like structure while sharing a x axis.  I havent had a great deal of suscess with this though.

Hi Hans,

 

that's what a meant with using an array of clusters! Make an array of 12 plot legend entries and a "switch" to select the plot group...
