Get cursor values from 3D graph....

[PA-Paul]

Hi all,

I've set up a 3D graph in labview 8.6.1 and have added a pair of cursors to it. I'm trying to get those cursor values out programatically. I tried it like this:

But I don't see what I should wire to the "Item" input.

anyone know how to do this?

Cheers

That would be the index of the cursor. Note CW use 1 based indexes so the first cursor is at index 1.

THis thread on the dark side offers tips to hwo to use the 3d graphs.

This one apperntly has an example for grabbing the curso values.

Hi Ben,

Thanks for the response. I got it to work in the end by wiring the cursor name (found from the properties on the fp) to the item...

I did try it first by index, but I was 0 based, so maybe that's why it didn't work.

Cheers!
