Plotting one point over so many seconds

[Corina]

Hello Everyone,

How can I have my chart plot one point every so many seconds? For instance, I have my chart plotting real time data. Additionally, I would like to have the option of plotting one point every 25 seconds or 50 seconds.

Thank you in advance,

Corina

You could do something like this (LabVIEW 8.0)

I'm not sure how you structured you program.

How are you aquiring data?
Do you want to aquire the same number of points as you are displaying?
Or do you want to aquire a constant amount, just varying the display?

I would just put the chart in a while loop.

Put a 'Wait' function in the while loop, and a control (wired to the wait function) on the front panel to change how often the loop iterates.

This should do the trick.
