Overview

This example shows how you can use a graph property node to set a linear or log scale.

 

Description

LabVIEW offers options to configure the scale of a graph to a linear or log scale. It is possible to configure this static trough the LabVIEW-IDE, but it is also possible to change the scale during the execution of the VI.

This example demonstrates how to change the scale during the execution of the VI.

 

Requirements

 Software

  • LabVIEW Full Development System 2012 (or compatible)
  • If running in a Real-Time context, you will need the LabVIEW Real-Time Module 2012 (or compatible)

 Hardware

  • No hardware is necessary to use this example VI

 

Steps to Implement or Execute Code

  1. Download and open the attached VI
  2. Run the program
