Problem with Plot Starting at Zero Seconds.vi

Question

In document with ID: 4KTFBLE9 an example vi is offered.  Its name is "Plot Starting at Zero Seconds.vi".  I have problems in "borrowing" the function labeled "Waveform Chart", comprising a box with the text "XScale Multiplier".  When I transfer this function to another vi, the function is transmutated to another function.  What happens, and what am I doing wrong? 

Answer 1

This is a property node and it will only link directly to items in the same VI. If you move it to a different VI, it will turn into a plain property node.
If you have another waveform chanrt in the other VI, you can right-click the copied proeprty node and select "link to..." and select the local waveform chart.
If you want it to act on the "other" wavform chart, you need to make the second VI a subVI and wire the reference to it via a connector.
If you want to create a new such property node, simply right-click the waveform chart and select the desired property.
