Where should I start(chart type and TDMS ?)

[djlee]

Dear all,

Currently, I'm VS2005(VB) user and trying to use ms 8.6 for my application.

My device sends temp. data every 10s(total 20 channel) through IEEE1394.

First. I'd like to use graph to show 20 channel temp. data trend from 0 hour until user click the stop button. That means X axis will be hour from 0 to x hour(sometimes 1 month!) and Y axis will be temp. Which graph should I use to show the trend. Complex? Waveform?

Second,  if I save the data every 10s for emergency case using TDMS  what is the advantage comparing to traditional file save process?

Thanks in advance.

You can search ni.com for "TDMS .NET" and it'll give you a bunch of useful information, including this overview.
