RE: Real Time Charting on XY chart type

[Software FX]

Hello,

Real Time charting is currently not available for the ChartFX IE 2000 product.  We distribute the ChartFX Programmers Guide with the ChartFX IE 2000 product that speaks about this functionality but this functionality as of right now is only available for ChartFX Client/Server.  The ChartFX Programmers Guide was originally written for the ChartFX Client/Server product but since most of the API is the same and the programming practices are the same we decided to distribute this help guide with ChartFX IE 2000 but unfortunately a couple of discrepancies do exist in the products and one of them is the Real Time functionality.  We will very soon be introducing a new version of ChartFX that will allow Real Time charting over the web.  If you want information on this new version of ChartFX then please contact our sales department at Sales@SoftwareFX.com.

Conversation: Real Time Charting on XY chart type

Subject: Real Time Charting on XY chart type

We are charting 24 hours of time series data with new data arriving as often as every two minutes.  We would like to avoid sending the whole 24 hour data set (up to 24 x 30 = 720 points per series) every update.  I have been reviewing your real-time features in ChartFX, but it appears that Real-time charts are constrained to be equal interval x-axis charts.  I see the CT_EVENSPACING must be applied to the Chart type property. 

Is there a way to add (only) new data to an XY chart if the time series is not equal interval ?
