Here's a template taken from my test code.

You embed a polyline in the visualizaiton and set the Dynamic Point settings to:

Array of points: _MAIN.apPoints[Trace#]
Number of points: 256 (or as many as you need)

Hope this helps.

That sounds very interesting and seems to be exactly what I need. It would be awesome if you could post an example, but if you don't have the time, I would also be happy if you'd post the link to the thread where you found the information.

Thank you very much!

I bypassed the standard functions and wrote my own... It's pretty easy. Each graph trace is a polyline whose x,y point coordinates can be set via codesys code.

Doing this I have implemented multiple overlapping graphs with different scales and a multi-channel logic analyzer which uses the shortest polyline to draw the trace.

The information for doing this was found on this forum. I can probably put a example together.

Hello,

I'm working with CoDeSys 3.5 SP4 Patch 2 for a few weeks now. At the moment I'm trying to get a few x-y Graph done and I'm quite surprised that CoDeSys only comes with a histogram tool, that has absolutely no options of editing the x-Axis whatsoever. I'm looking for a plot tool/function like in MATLAB, where you can edit the x-Axis and have more overall opions, like logarithmic axes, etc. Is there maybe a better tool available that I can import into CoDeSys?

Thanks for your answers!

Julian
