How do I get multiple tracked variables on a single graph?

I have multiple tracked variables tracking the content of that variable, and can create graphs through the pinning to a dashboard function. However, I am encountering issues when combining the relevant statistics collectors to create a graph of both variables simultaneously.

Software Version:

FlexSim 21.2.4

In version 2021 Update 2, you should make a custom statistics collector.

Listen to the OnChange of all the tracked variables you want on the chart
Add three columns:
- Time - set the Row Add Value to Model.time
- Value - set the Row Add Value to current.value. Set the storage type to int, if you are storing whole numbers. Leave it on Double for decimal values.
- TV - set the Row Add Value to current.name, and set the storage type to string.
Set the chart to Split by the TV column (color, axis, or both)

In version 2022 or later, you can just pin the tracked variable, and then use the chart's UI to add additional tracked variables.
