Trouble creating a mask for my thermocouple data on the waveform chart

I have created a waveform chart that plots the temperature readings from my thermocouple.  It is making continuous readings, and I can take the data from the text file I created and graph it in excel and everything is fine.  However, my temperature readings have to follow a standard temperature vs. time curve with a limit of 10% error.  I created a mask by inputing the data points for the upper and lower limits and hooked it up and now my chart will not work.  When I checked the data on the text file it only makes 3 readings and then starts over (i.e. gives a reading at 0 sec, 1 sec, 2sec, then starts over).  I have tried using N readings instead of continuous and nothing seems to work.  Can anyone help?

Thanks!

Hi,

Please do not cross-post the same question in different forums: a lot people consider that rude Internet etiquette. It looks like you're receiving help in this thread, so please continue there:
