You can specify how numbers and plot lines appear on a digital waveform graph by configuring each plot. To configure a digital waveform plot, click the glyph in the plot legend and select one of the following options from the shortcut menu:

• Color—Displays the color picker so you can select the color of the plot.
• Label Format—Sets the format of numbers in the plots. You can display numbers in Hexadecimal, Decimal, Octal, or Binary formats, or you can select a format of None which removes the labels from the plot. You also can use the Label Format property to set the format of numbers in the plots programmatically.
• Transition Type—Sets how LabVIEW distinguishes differing values in the plot. This setting affects only plots with more than one bit. You can select a square edge or sloped edge. Use the square edge to show simple state changes. Use the sloped edge to emphasize jitter or settling time between states. You also can use the Digital Transition Type property to set the transition type programmatically.
• Transition Location—Sets whether to display high-to-low transitions at the previous point, in between points, or at the new point on the x-axis. The default displays high to low transitions at the new point on the x-axis. You also can use the Digital Transition Location property to set the transition location programmatically.
• Line Style—Sets whether LabVIEW uses a thin or thick line in the plot to distinguish high or low values or to offset a particular plot line. Select the left-most option to keep the default line thickness. You also can use the Digital Line Style property to set whether LabVIEW uses a thick line programmatically.
• X Scale—Sets the variable to associate with the x-axis.
• Y Scale—Sets the variable to associate with the y-axis.
