Software FX Posted December 19, 2000 Report Share Posted December 19, 2000 Hi, I just create a new project with two series and 5000 points each, the time to plot the 10,000 points were 3 seconds with a 800MHZ, 128Ram. It could be possible the code is producing the delay in your project, to confirm I would suggest, just to check the speed, to create a new project and feed the chart with a double loop from 0 to 1 and from 0 to 4999 with ramdom data. -- Regards, Percy Dyer Software FX, Inc.
