While other Components are very useful for displaying the current state of your process, and for controlling it, graphs provide a much better way of watching your process over time, or for determining trends in your data.  DAQFactory supports two dimensional graphs of values vs. time and X vs Y graphs.  You can have as many traces as you need on up to 12 different Y axes, stacked and/or overlapping.  You can add error bars to any of the traces, and can colorize traces based on an expression.  You can add line annotations for marking important values, and axis annotations for marking important events.  DAQFactory provides many features for scaling and zooming your graphs, markers for quick analysis, as well as more in depth analysis tools such as curve fitting.  DAQFactory graphs have many attributes that control the look of the graph, enabling you to create publish quality graphs right in DAQFactory.
