Size of waveform chart window changes during remapping in SIT

Hi All,
I am using SIT 3.0.3 with LabVIEW 8.2.1. For had been facing a problem where each time I start the host VI the control & indicators would change their ranges. Especially the waveform charts used to change a lot for example the plotting area inside the chart would move a lot to the left making the scale invisible. Which makes it very difficult to understand the signal. Then I would the following KB article which solved a part of the problem.
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/234E19202757CFE8862572AE005559A2
But even after modifying the labview.ini file as mentioned in the KB still the waveform chart changes each time I remap the mappings using Connection manager and the I have to manually make all the adjustments again. Is there a way that I can avoid the automatic readjustment of the indicators and keep size, range shape etc intact.
Thanks and Regards,
Vicku.

Is the chart itself set to autoscale? Right-click on each of the axis and see if autoscaling is checked.

Set waveform chart size to value 1000

Is there any possibility to set the size of waveform chart buffer to value >1000 in LabVIEW?

Hello Konigusko,
you've got to right-click on the chart and choose "Chart History Length", then this little Dialog box appears.

Want a constant time axis in waveform chart

hello,
my time axis in waveform chart is changing .how can i keep it constant say 1-100 .the whole point of this is to make waveform chart luk like a CRO.please need help.
thanks in advace

I don't think what you're asking for is possible, due to the nature of the chart - it accepts Y values and inserts the X value automatically. Offhand, I can think of 3 solutions -
The bad one - constantly change the offset by moving it backwords. You will probably have flickering.
The workaround one - Paste a text box over the first number saying 1 and another over the second number saying 100.
The probably most correct one - Use a XY graph. Just have a 1D array of 100 elements and append it to a second 1D array with 1..100. Wire the 2D array into the graph terminal.

How do i set the time frame of a waveform chart programmatically to be a 30 sec window or a 24 hour window

i'm using LV7.0 and what i need to do is to be able to set the time frame or range of a waveform chart programmatically before i start taking and plotting data. sometimes this window needs to be 30s wide and sometimes it needs to be 24 hrs wide. (in the first reference, i need the chart to fill up with 30s of historical data then the whole chart scrolls with each new data point). the data acquisition records data at a rate of once per second. i've tried to use the chart properties of XScale.offset, XScale.Range.Minimum and XScale.Range.Maximum but no matter what i do the time-stamp on the x-axis is always "00:00:00 PM" and "MM/DD/YYYY" even though values are seen being plotted on the right side of the chart as expected.

Okay, there seems to be some confusion here -- the X axis values are of type double, but they can be represented in the HH:MMS MMD:YYYY format if you want in which case it interprets the floating point as the number of seconds since 6pm Dec 31, 1903.
You can programmatically set this value using the XScale.Minimum and XScale.Maximum properties, but note that if you wire a waveform to the chart after setting these values the t0 parameter will override what you set using the property node for XScale.Minimum. If instead you leave the t0 parameter empty you can use the XScale.Offset property and wire the same value in that you wire to XScale.Minimum. Changing the amount you add to XScale.Minmum to obtain what you wire into XScale.Maximum will determine the time window size.

How can I change the color of plot in a waveform chart and graph?

There are 4 plots in a waveform chart, from plot0 to plot3, and I want to chang the color of plots dynamicly up to my needs when the VI is running.
For example, as show in the picture, i want to set the plot0 as RED, and plot1 is BLUE, plot2 is YELLOW, plot3 is GRAY.
If there is only one plot, i can change it's color, however when there are more than one plot, it fail.
How can I do it?
Thanks

Hello MilkyStone,
first you have to set the active plot, then change its color (or other properties). All that is done using property nodes.

How do you set the size / bounds of a waveform chart at run time?

I have a plot area that I would like to fill with as many waveform charts as the user specifies (at run time). The "bounds" property is read only and I haven't noticed an additional "size" property for a waveform chart as there is for a button. Is there a way to set the size of a waveform chart at run time, and if not, why not? (Labview 6.1)

Look at it a little more carefully, I suspect that your assumption is only half wrong. The property does only resize the plot area--LV resizes the frame to fit the resized plot on it's own.
You'll need to bear this in mind when you're figuring-out what size to set the property to.

Change the size of a chart in runtime in LV7.1?

Is it impossible to change the size of a chart in runtime in LV7.1? I can only see that the properties width and height is readable. It would be very neat to have these properties writable so one can change the size of for instance charts in run-time.Is it impossible to change the size of a chart in runtime in LV7.1?

Thomas,
You wrote,
"Yes, you are right, it has just effect to the plot area." (bold added).
That is not the case I found. Those properties do change the plot area BUT the rest of the chart adapts around that area so the WHOLE chart re-sizes.
See attached.
Confused,

How do you change the Number of Plots Shown property of a Waveform Chart at runtime?

Is there any possible way to change the Number of Plots Shown property
of a Waveform Chart at runtime? Thy Dynamic Stackplots example is
way to limited.....

There's a couple of ways to do this -
1. Manage the data going into the chart to only be what you want displayed
2. Use property nodes. Specifically, the Plot.Visible node. (LV 7 example attached).

How do you change image size in the title window?

I just changed operating systems to Windows 7, which meant that I had to re install Premiere Pro CS4. I am now working on a 64 bit system. Might not make any difference, but thought I would give you the specifics just in case. When I pull up the title window to add a title to my clip, the image is about the size of a postage stamp. How do I increase the size of the image in that window?

Thank you again for responding Hunt. I did find out what what was happening.
I had to reinstall the program on my computer. I just upgraded to Windows 7, and I now have a 64 bit system. When I booted up PPCS4, I assumed that my settings would be the same as they were before when I had Vista installed and didn't bother to check them when I started a new project. Well, they were not. I also added a TV tuner card to my computer. I now can watch HD TV on my computer. I suppose that it is possible that somehow PPCS4 noticed that, and set my default settings to HD, rather than NTSC DV. I just merrily went along clicking the OK button and started editing. When I start a new project now, I select NTSC DV and the Title window works just fine, and exactly the way I expect it to.
I just received Jeff Bellune's book Adobe Encore DVD 2.0 in the mail and will be totally immersed in Encore studies today. With all of his children, I don't see how he had time to write it, but I'm glad that he did. I also ordered a book entitled Designing Menus with Encore DVD. I know that it was written for an earlier version than CS4, but I will trust what you said about that. Many things are the same with some minor variations due to upgrades in the program. The basic ideas don't change, but how you accomplish them can, and usually do over time.

Subject: how do you change image size in the title window?
Welcome to the forum.
That is an odd one. The Title should be the same Frame Size as your Project/Sequence. What is it's Frame Size? Also, are you perhaps doing a Title based on an older Template, that was done for a different Frame Size?
What happens if you choose Title>New Title>Default Still?
Good luck,

Change Chart background color during runtime

I want to change the background color of my chart during runtime.
I can set and read-out the color with a property node but the apperance on the frontpanel is not changing.
After stopping the VI the chart suddenly gets updated.
Please check my VI attached.
Do someone knows a workaround?

Hello Robert,
another option would be to place (for example) a vertical smooth box behind the chart and change the color of it.
See my attachment.

How to change output precision of DAQ to waveform chart and to spreadsheet

Refer vi attached, the DAQ connects to a waveform chart to a spreadsheet. I want to change the precision of the DAQ assistant output from 6 decimal places to 2 decimal places, but everywhere i searched on the DAQ assistant i cannot find a precision setting. Did i miss something? What is the elegant way to do this?
Thanks.

Hi sunflower,
this seems related to this question...
Why do you want to change the output of the DAQ assistent?
Shouldn't you change the precision of the spreadsheet creation? To do so you simply have to give some parameters to the "to string conversion" functions...
Apart from file saving all other display precision settings are just cosmetics of the indicators!

Why are the video player change size when resizing the window a little?

When I use the video player to show mp4 files, the "player window" changes size if I change the firefox window. Why and how do I do to get the correct size direct (640x480)

Hi john3,
This can be the resolution of the screen or the site detecting screensize, do you have a url we can take a look at to determine what's going on?

Changing names of labels of plots of graphs or waveform charts

I am using a formular vi to do multiple calculations whose answers i display graphically on a waveform chart.
the problem is that labview does not allow me to change the name of label of the result from the calculation to what i want it to be displayed as to the front panel user.
well... it does allow me to change it to what i prefer but as soon as i run the vi the label name reverts to "result"
is there a way of getting around this problem?

Ok... sorry for the confusion
see what i meant below
if for example i am doing an efficiency calculation i would need an input and an output then i would calculate the ratio of the output to the input.
on my graph i would want to see a plot labels named input, output and efficiency
in the example attached i have simulated two signals and i did the calculation with the formular vi
on the front panel i can only see plots labeled DC, DC and DC(Formular Result)
i want to display these on my graph as Input, Outpt and Efficiency respectively
hope that clears the confusion
that is my problem, please give me the answer

How to keep the waveform chart updated when changing states in state machine/

Hello Everyone,
Can anyone please sugest me how to keep the waveform chart updated even if I am changing the states in a state machine??
I am having analog inputs on the waveform chart...
Thanks in advance...
Now on LabVIEW 10.0 on Win7

hello guys,
thanks a lot for the suggestions, here is the attached code... please follow the following steps to run it..
ONce you hit play,press either Start Main/Cyl UP button on the front panel,
once you start observing the waveforms, you can press the Cyl_Dwn button on the front panel... You can observe that the state changes to Start Counter state,
and the waveform chart also stops updating... I would like both the waveform charts to conitnuously show the data even if the state is changed....
