cursors on charts?

[cdreike]

How do I  add a cursor to a Waveform CHART? I see how this works with a Waveform GRAPH. My customer wants to see his data on a chart recorder and then window the data with a hi and a lo cursor to measure hi and lo points.

Thanks,

Chris

Chris,

charts do not support cursors at all (this can be checked simply by viewing the property-dialog). so there are two different solutions for you issue:
a) you can configure (which takes a bit of programming of course) the graph to a behaviour similar to a chart. then you can use cursors directly.
b) disable autoscaling in your chart. you can then enter min- and max-values for each scale resulting in something like setting cursors with automatic zoom into this area.

Chris,

I found a similar post from earlier in the year.  There is an explanation about an additional way to emulate the behavior of a cursor.
