XY Graph and 3D Surface Simultaneously

[serialcommunication]

I am a newbie to LabVIEW and am trying to use the software to graph incoming data from ultrasonic sensors. I have created a real time 3D surface graph with a random number for Z instead of the data I will have incoming with fixed X and Y values. As the 3D graph develops it moves 1 square at a time for the incoming Z data to plot, however to make the physical side of things easier I would like to create a simple plot of the (X,Y) coordinates also in real time along with the 3D surface to be able to visualize position easier. I have no idea how to do this as I have no previous LabVIEW experience so any help would be fantastic! (I have uploaded my real time 3D surface vi)

Thanks in advance.

Hi, 

You can use an XY graph for this which you can find by right clicking on the block diagram>> Graph>> XY Graph. 

For different methods of how to use it please see this Article.
