Start graph at 0.0

Hello,

In the attached model, you can see two graphs that represent the cycle times of each item in each of the systems (JIDOKA, NO JIDOKA).

The graphs are related to a tracked variable in each system that records the entry into the sinks of each system. I created the graphs directly from the pin to generate statistics.

The problem I’ve identified is that the graphs start from the value 0.0, or at least it seems that the sink is recording an entry at the 0.0 instant. This is not accurate.


What is happening and how can I correct it?

Install the chart's components from the Advanced tab in its properties to be able to access the Statistics Collector.

Then delete both the OnReset and OnWarmup events.

Here are the graphs before applying the solution:

It is evident that in both graphs, the representation now starts at the point where the first item is received at the sink. In other words, the X and Y axes have shifted to the first point.


How can I ensure that the axes do not shift to the point where the first item is received but still avoid marking the 0.0 as a point? I would like to see it as it appears here but without that point at 0.0.

I am pretty sure you can't. The start point of the x-axis is defined by the first data point. You could add a data point with a negative value at time 0 and set a fixed range for the graph so the point doesn't appear in the chart but it would still be present in the data set and need to be filtered out if you calculate an average value for example.

Thanks.
I didn't know about the syntax for ternary operators. It's really interesting.
Your answers are very helpful. I'm learning a lot.

Sincerely,
Felix
Attached are the nice results of my graphs, like I wanted them.
