How to display LabVIEW waveform graph in real time?

To display LabVIEW waveform graph in real-time, follow these steps:

  1. Open the LabVIEW software and create a new VI (Virtual Instrument).
  2. In the Front Panel window, select a Waveform Chart control from the Controls panel and drag it onto the window.
  3. Connect a data source to the Waveform Chart control. You can use LabVIEW sensors or VIs that generate analog data.
  4. In the Block Diagram window, connect the data source to the Waveform Chart control by connecting the output line of the data source to the input line of the Waveform Chart control.
  5. In the Block Diagram window, continuously acquire and update data generated by the data source using LabVIEW’s loop structure, such as a While Loop.
  6. Inside the loop structure, utilize an appropriate function (such as Read Sensor Data function or Generate Data function) to retrieve or create data.
  7. Connect the acquired or generated data to the input terminal of the Waveform Chart control.
  8. Run the VI and observe the Waveform Chart control, which will display in real-time the data generated by the data source.

Please note that the above steps only provide basic operational guidance. Specific real-time displays should be set and adjusted according to actual needs and the type of data source.
