best way to display alarm histories in Labview6?

[Gérard]

I would like to display when alarms were active as colored bargraphs
spreading over a given time intervals using standard Labview 6 graphs
whose x axis in Time mode..
I have arrays of time intervals (sec since 1904) for teh various alarms
and would like to avoid filling an array extending between the interval
bounds.
I can always use horizontal bargraphs with multiple sliders and play
with fill attributes (properties).
Any better trick to do the job?

Doing a histogram of alarm values over your time ranges may serve to put the data in an easier form for bar graphs. Also, remember that you can use an XY graph as a bar chart also. XY graphs tend to have a little more flexibility if you are willing to do the programming.
