Strip chart example help

[Ayin]

Hi all,

I was going through the waveform chart example, however, there are some things I can't quiet figure out, the example is as below:

In the block diagram, there are three form/fields corresponding to the strip chart, two in the for-loop, and one outside. I understand the form taking the bundled inputs inside the for-loop results from the strip-chart indicator. However, I don't understand where the other two come from and how they're configured. Right click->properties on these two yield no object properties, so I'm pretty lost...

Any hints about what these do would be appreciated...I'm new to Labview and all these pictures are just frustrating as hell.

Surely as a beginner you have context turned on. As you move your mouse over the objects, the help window willl show you the name of the object. Click on the details.

You do not have a for loop. It is a while loop. The object outside the loop is a property node. So is one inside. The other is a bundle. As the help for the chart explains, that is what you use for multiple plots in a chart.

There are no "forms/fields".

Inside the while loop there is the terminal for the waveform chart that has the data written to it.  The other item is a property node of the strip chart.  (Right click on the terminal and pick Create Property Node.)

The item outside the loop is another property node of the chart made the same way.

I would recommend looking at the online LabVIEW tutorials
