Quite easily. In LabVIEW the terms "graph" and "chart" are not synonymous.
A "chart" is like a paper stripchart recorder, to which you continously add
data, and the old data gets scrolled off to the left. There's a built-in
buffer that can be adjusted. Thus, you can use a chart to display the most
recent 10 seconds, and use the buffer to view the previous data. A "graph"
displays a fixed amount of data. There are 2 types of graphs: waveform and
XY. The waveform graph is intended to be used when the samples are evenly
spaced. The XY graph is intended when they're not. As before, take a look
at the examples that ****p with LabVIEW. The "Charts" example shows a
variety of ways to create a chart. In your case the loop time would be 1
second. You can use the while loop as shown in the example, or a timed
loop (Programming -> Structures -> Timed Structures).
