labview 8 - historical trend

[Joachim Schreibmaier]

hi,
I am very new to labview and I've created a vi which displays the historical
trend object from the DSC module.

I get the correct data in the trend but there aren't all options available
like in MAX. I would like to start/stop the plotting of my view and also do
other actions like they are in MAX (the whole button-panel is missing).

Is there a way to implement this button-panel from MAX programatically??

Thanks for the help.

I haven't tried DSC 8.0 -- yet, but in 7.1 there's an ActiveX control called NI HyperTrend in the same pallette as the Historical Trend.  This is pretty much the same as the one in MAX.  You may want to look for this 8.0 as well.

The historical trend express VI does not replace all the functionality of the viewer in MAX...not yet, anyway.  There may be a clever way to do things to the VI to make it seem like this was being handled but I can't think of them.

You can programmatically launch the MAX viewer using the VI 'Call HDV' if that will satisfy your needs.
