Writing on Graph when VI running?

I wish to write information on a Waveform Graph while it is running but I am unable to do that unless the VI is stopped. I want to measure time, signal slope, and distribution with the cursors and write notes as required to draw attention to certain areas. Without help to do this everything has to be written in a notebook then written on the graph when the VI is halted.

Regards,

Hi RL - when you say "write" information, what do you mean? because, you can definitely write information to a waveform graph while its running. To illustrate I have attached this vi that generates a sine wave and puts it on the graph as its running. Can you clarify if this is what you want?

Thanks VNIU

Thank you for the quick response but I want to add notes to the graph, i.e. add text that will indicate the slope of rising pressure, the time between two pulses, or the frequency of a group of waves. All this has to be done while the VI is "on" otherwise the Cursors only give very basic information.

RL

There is no way to simultaneously update the graph and add text information. Refer to tbob's last post on the other forum thread for other ideas.
Thanks.
