Graphs and charts differ in the way they display and update data. Use graphs when you want to display a complete set of data and export the graph. Graphs are best for fast processes that acquire data continuously.
Use charts when you want to collect and display the data simultaneously. Charts are best for slow processes that only plot a few data points per second. Refer to the following support document at ni.com for more information about the differences between graphs and charts.
