To assign different colors to different values of a set parameter

[leon2001]

Thanks for the tip, Ray.

I've used Plot Color to produce different colors for the Waveform Graph. However, as the Waveform Graph is time-based, the colors fluctuate as time progresses (as the value goes above or below the limit). This is good in a sense, but what I would prefer to be displayed on the front panel is a XY Graph (in terms of X and Y coordinates) that displays the regions of Good and Bad values in different colors.


that is, i'll have a particular route mapped out on my front panel. The challenge is to assign different colors to different values of a set parameter. This is the part that currently stumps me.


Would definitely appreciate the help from you guys.



Cheers.

There are a few ways to do this. Perhaps the most common is to simply have multiple curves for the "good" and "bad" data. For an example very close to what you are talking about go to Help:Examples:Measurements:Frequency Analysis:Frequency Analysis of a Filter Design

This is a very good example .vi and should put you on the right track.

thanks for the info.

however, I was unable to open the Frequency Analysis .vi (some .vi's couldn't be found), and i was wondering which add-on software is required to make it work. Apparently it is not included in the base package that I am currently using.

Cheers.
