how to do Stack Plots in WaveformGraph?

[cys]

I want to plot multiple plots in single WaveformGraph, they share a same axis, but each plot has their own y-axis, and layout as stack. How to do it? It seems that lots of feature in LabView is missed in Measurement Studio.

Thanks,

Chen.

Hi Chen,

We have an example here that implements what you're looking for.

This is not really stacked plots. There are multiple x-axes. It is just put multiple waveformgraph together. User can do it by themselves.

Using stacked plots, it will help when display multiple channel, such as 32 or 64 channels together. If use multiple waveformgraphes, it will significant slow down the screen update. The purpose of stacked plots is to imporve the speed, even when display up to 32 channels. Similiar to the sweep waveformgraph, the solution given by the your engineer is not the really solution.

Thanks,

Chen.

cys,

To do that, go to your YAxes collection and add a new Yaxis. Then in the Plots collection, you can set a specific plot to use a specific Yaxis under the Axes property.

This is what I want to do. But in this way, the plots always overlay, no option for stack.

Thanks,

Chen.

The only way to stack in Measurement Studio is to create an offset like the example does here: C:\Program Files\National Instruments\MeasurementStudioVS2005\DotNET\Examples\UI\WindowsForms\Graph\Plotting

However, there is no way to stack axes so you would be limited by the fact that the axes created would be to the left and thus not be like the LabVIEW chart. You can submit a product suggestion for this feature directly to R&D by selecting Product Feedback from this link.
