Ploting old data to graphs

[SlavisaG]

Hi,

 

I need to plot some old data to graphs, but having some problems with it. I have some force sensor readings that I have to plot again, and I'm facing some problems, as my data doesn't corespond to my findings before. Need to use correct time stamp, so was thinking of using XY graph (or should I be using just waveform), as my reading were taken in defined time intervals. In general I have to get the X as time that has been saved in spreadsheet, and Y axis should be the forces and torques that were saved. Need a bit of help how to construct this properly and make it usefull for other readings. And one thing more, is there a posibility to change the sampling rate within the graph itself? Thanks in advance.

If the time interval between each sample can vary, you definitely want a XY graph, not a waveform. The best way I know is to create a cluster of 2 array with the same number of elements: one for the X values (timestamp in your case), and one for the Y values (force or torque in your case).

 

You can feed this cluster to a XY graph directly. If you have more than one Y (in your case you have forces and torque), create several of these clusters and combine them in an array. The XY graph will accept this array. See attached picture.
