You will need to start with AdvancedHMI solution and add your code to it. There are a lot of references and links that make it complicated to try to turn your existing project into an AdvancedHMI solution.

I would use the Chart that is part of Visual Studio and .NET 4.0

hello
ok, will do.
i went for zedgraph as it seemed to have good zoom, pan etc, i would like to do a scrolling graph , i think you may have touched on this before. any pointers
thanks

I haven't used ZEDGraph for years so I don't remember the exact details, but the trick to a scrolling graph is to add a new point, then remove the oldest from the point collection when the count exceeds a certain value. This is how to do it with Microsoft Chart:

Dim p as double
p=EthernetIPforCLXCom1.ReadSynchronous("MyTag",1)(0)
Chart1.Series(0).Points.Add(p)
if Chart1.Series(0).Points.count>100 then
  Chart1.Series(0).Points.RemoveAt(0)
end if

hello
great,
thanks for the pointer i will try it this week or this weekend.
many thanks

hello
i tried this in the timer tick event, but i get an error,
etherntipforclxcom1 is not declared. it may be inaccessible due to its protection level

Dim Value As Integer
    Try
        Value = EthernetIPforCLXCom1.ReadSynchronous("MyTag", 1)(0)
    Catch ex As Exception
        Exit Sub
    End Try
    '* Add the next point to the chart
    Chart1.Series(0).Points.Add(Value)
    '* Do not let more than 100 point be on the chart
    If Chart1.Series.Count > 100 Then
        Chart1.Series(0).Points.RemoveAt(0)
    End If


thanks
