To display the cursor coordinates in LabVIEW, you can follow these steps:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. In the Block Diagram, choose the control or indicator, such as Graph or Chart, that needs to display the cursor coordinates.<\/li>\n
  2. Right-click on the control or indicator, select “Create”->\u201cProperty Node\u201d->\u201cPlot Area\u201d.<\/li>\n
  3. Right-click on the Plot Area, then select “Create”->”Property Node”->”Cursor”.<\/li>\n
  4. Connect the Property Node of the cursor control or indicator to the Property Node of the cursor.<\/li>\n
  5. In the Property Node of the Cursor, locate the “Show Cursor” option and set it to True.<\/li>\n
  6. In the Property Node of the Cursor, locate the “Cursor X\/Y Position” option and set it to True.<\/li>\n
  7. By running the program on the cursor control or indicator, you can display the coordinates of the cursor.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
