SimTime Waveform Details
Use this function in place of a LabVIEW waveform chart to plot simulation data correctly. The SimTime Waveform updates only on major time steps of the simulation.
You can configure the waveform chart that this function creates as you do other LabVIEW graphs and charts. For example, you can right-click the chart and select Chart History Length from the shortcut menu to configure the history buffer.
