display waveform chart of a subVI in main front panel

[WeiC]

I want to display waveform chart of a subVI in a Tab on the main front panel.

I did connector pane stuff for the waveform chart in subVI, and wired a waveform chart

to the subVI in the main block diagram, but this does not work, the waveform chart in

main does not show anything but the front panel of the subVI opened instead.

Any suggestions?

(Can't tell without a posted vi but) it sounds like the subvi is busy collecting data and plotting and the data won't get to the top-level vi until this is done.

If you want to continuously plot data you need a local variable.

Think data flow!
