add graph programmatically

[Frank74]

In Labview Signal Express there is a button Add Display which leads to an additional graph.

Is there a way to do the same thing in Labview?

What I would like to have is a mixed waveform chart that I can configure when I start the program - e.g. select the number of charts displayed.

Is this possible in Labview 8.5?

Kind regards

Frank

Yes, if you do enable the Scripting feature in LabVIEW.

See the below link for more details about VI Scripting.

Also, do search here with the keywords "Scripting", "VI Scripting", "Create Controls & Indicators Programatically" in this forum.

As a beginner, I strongly discourage you about using this feature because it is NOT suppprted by NI.

You can achieve many of these things using the picture control.

Try to search & read the forum member Beb's posts regarding Picture Control.

Here is one about the Picture Control by Ben (& others).
