chart,plot,graph的区别

Graphs and Charts differ in the way they display and update data. VIs with Graphs usually collect
the data in an array and then plot the data on a Graph, similar to a spreadsheet that first
stores the data then generates a plot of it. In contrast, a Chart appends new data points to
those already in the display. In this manner, the Chart allows you to see the current reading
or measurement in context with data previously acquired. You can set the length of the Chart
History buffer (i.e., how many
points the Chart will remember and display) by right-clicking the Chart and selecting Chart
History Length from the shortcut menu.
