Hi Darren - I am still having issues with this -- I have upgraded to 2023 Q3 Patched -- the VI is rather large (poor choice on my part to save the data... I had reasons...) How is the best way I can get this to you?

Happy Holidays,  I realize it may be a bit before I hear from you  (despite my delay in response, this is still an important concern for my current research needs)

As per the title - I have a VI that has a large saved data set in a mixed signal graph, that, unfortunately, turns out to crash Labview every time the VI is opened, (or even the VI properties are accessed) - can't even drop the VI in the block diagram of another VI without crashing LV.

Any tricks to clearing the front panel graph data without having to open the VI ?    Its a 6 or so plot mixed signal plot (4 analog, 2 digital with ~20 digital waveforms in the digital plots)  and the saved file is about 22MB (not that big) - but to say the Mixed Signal Graph's performance and behavior is 'poor' is an understatament.

Thoughts and pointers appreciated.

Curious if there's a trick I'm missing (and I don't think 'annotations' is it) that would allow a simple plot such as

To be shown with text (think 'enum') instead of the value of the bus.  

Typical use would be, such as in a logic analyzer, where a symbol table is used to represent the name of a state in a state machine

Another use might be to show decoded data (example below from Andrew D. Zonenberg's glscopeclient manual )

My use case needs the Mixed Signal Graph and will involve cursor use, and lots of zooming in/out to review large sets of data quickly, spanning digital (binary, state, etc) and analog signals.

Having a  Mixed Signal Graph that can show text, instead of JUST 0, 1, L, H, etc  would be EXTREMELY useful and elegant.  Running in 2022 Q3 at the moment, I am unaware of this feature in any version from LV 4 (yes, I'm an old timer) through to 2022-Q3 (hence not holding my breath for 2023Q1 to address this)

Sure, with a bunch of work, I could recreate the Mixed Signal Graph with a picture control and get the effect I'm after -- but LV's supposed to be making things easier and faster - if I have to go to that level of effort, another language may win out

A graph that can take an enum and show the String of the enum (rather than the value) in the GRAPH (not on the axis) would be phenomenal

Thoughts appreciated.
