2 channel x-y plot

[nexgen1]

I am using LabVIEW 6.1. Does anyone have a program that produces an
x-y plot which plots 1 analog input channel versus a second analog
input channel?

Hi nexgen1,

I don't understand the problem.

simply connect one Array (that you got from first anlog input) to the
X array, at the cluster bundle (to create a XY graph), and the same
procedure to second Array, to the Y array, and 'walla', it works fine.

Hope it Helps ...

I appreciate that you responded so quickly. Your answer makes sense,
however, I am brand new at LabVIEW, so I don't know where to begin to
get the x array and y array. In the end I want to plot one voltage
from an analog input channel versus another voltage from a second
analog input channel. I hope you can help. Thank you again for your
time.

How are you acquiring the data and what functions are you using? If
you acquire both channels over time, the AI function will
automatically create a 2D array. You can use an index array function
to get channels 1 and 2 data. Each of these should be a 1D array that
you use for the x and y inputs to the xy graph.

I have a NI-DAQ and an switch. two channels (4 pins) are being used.
The correct voltages are coming out because I am able to get the data
to excel using the built in data logger.vi. I just really need to get
the x and y data to plot on an x-y plot in labview while the voltages
are being sampled. I don't know what functions are to used to be
honest in order to acquire the two separate channels into two separate
arrays. Thanks again.
Sincerely,

Look at the shipping example called XY Chart if you wnat to display
data real time. The normal XY graph takes arrays post-acquisition and
displays them but the example should do what you want without needing
to build arrays.

I appreciate the response once again. I will try the file you sent me
tomorrow. Is it just the Plot XY.VI? or is it more than that? I am
just curious.
Thanks again,
Greg
