Tag: SciChartSurface

Hello,
I receive data at a very high speed from a hardware board and need to plot it on a SciChartSurface.
the sample is FastLineRenderableSeries

   <s:SciChartSurface x:Name="sciChart0" MaxFrameRate="5" 
               s:VisualXcceleratorEngine.AvoidBlacklistedGpu="False"
                s:VisualXcceleratorEngine.IsEnabled="True" 
                ForceCursor="True"
                s:VisualXcceleratorEngine.FallbackType="{x:Type s:HighQualityRenderSurface}"
                s:VisualXcceleratorEngine.DowngradeWithoutException="False" 
                s:VisualXcceleratorEngine.EnableImpossibleMode="True" 
                RenderPriority="Normal">
         <s:SciChartSurface.RenderableSeries>
                  <s:FastLineRenderableSeries   x:Name="RenderableSeries1" DataSeries="{Binding Series, 
                     Mode=TwoWay, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}"/>
           </s:SciChartSurface.RenderableSeries>

    </s:SciChartSurface>

while Series is XyDataSeries<double, double>
I created a thread that opens a socket (on port 3490) and all the information it receives it draws on the graph.
The problem is that if some time passes, and I stop the transmission of the data, it still draws what it has left to draw to “reach the end of the buffer”. It makes me realize that he is not keeping up with the transmission and it takes him more time to draw than the time it takes for the information to arrive.
(If I start the transmission and let it draw, and then stop quickly, it does stop immediately. The problem is if a lot of information arrives over time).
I wanted to ask if there is a way to speed it up in some way? (Maybe by giving up the plotting quality?)
Since I need to draw the information that arrives in real time and not information that arrived a few seconds ago…
The drawing is done by a separate thread:

i’m using Append():

Series.Append(double[XPoints] array, double[YPoints] array);

I’m having issues with displaying my vertical annotations on my chart. Below is the code for creating the annotation and adding it to the chart.

var annotationLine = new VerticalLineAnnotation();
annotationLine.XAxisId = XAxisID;
annotationLine.YAxisId = YAxisID;
annotationLine.Stroke = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Blue);
annotationLine.StrokeThickness = 2;
annotationLine.IsHidden = false;
annotationLine.AnnotationCanvas = AnnotationCanvas.BelowChart;
annotationLine.Y1 = 0;
annotationLine.Y2 = ControlHeight;
annotationLine.X1 = xValues[i];
Surface.Annotations.Add(annotationLine);

I have verified that the XAxisId and the YAxisId are correct and match the id of the only axes that I have on the chart
I have verified that the xValues[i] is a valid value on the chart and within the bounds of the viewport

The tricky part here is that I am reading live streaming EEG data from a device and inserting manual triggers into the data. This works fine and the annotations appear in the chart as they are within the bounds of the chart.
I then record that data to a file (currently csv but will be doing EDF as soon as I get this figured out) where the annotation data is present (verified)
It’s when I try to read the file into my application that I can’t get the annotations to appear on the SciChart. I’m using the code above for both the live streaming data (working) and the file reading (not working) so I’m really baffled by this and could use any insight anyone has.

Thank you

I get data in real time and I only care about the Y values.
I want to define a range of values on the X axis that will be fixed (but if I want I can change it from time to time)
For example: define that the range will be from 0 to 1000 and all the information that arrives will be displayed only in this range. And when I pass the 1000 points it will simply “push” the older points aside.
For example: the point located at X=2 will move to X=1, 1 will move to 0 and 0 will leave the graph…
During the program I want of course to give the user the possibility to change this range if he wants.
The optimal way for me was to define a range of the X axis and when I do Append(), add only Y values so that they enter the next place on the X axis in order…
Is there an option in the API to set this? If not, how is it recommended to do it?

Hi, I have problem with the Y axis values, if you take a look here,

the numbers are not intuitive is there a way to fix it?

I tried to set the AutoTicks=”True” but it did nothing

Hi, I have a problem with the Y-axis mouse scroll sensitivity regarding values, if you take a look here, you can see that it will take a lot of separate scrolls to reach the desired Y-axis value
due to a low level of sensitivity
how can I solve this problem

my code
