Stripchart Widget - Point Capacity

 
The POINT CAPACITY value specifies the total number of points that will be stored for each trace in the STRIPCHART. The value of POINT CAPACITY is also the size of the data "container" or "internal buffer" in memory. Memory consumption of STRIPCHART varies according to the setting of "COMPRESS X" and "COMPRESS Y". This table shows the levels of memory consumption according to different settings.

For example, if you set the value of POINT CAPACITY to 1000, you have reserved 4000 bytes of memory as an internal buffer. Setting the SHARED X attribute value to 1 reduces the amount of memory used by the STRIPCHART.
