Label
iLabelX is a windowed control that displays text on a form. This text can be used to label another control, and can be placed on top of or below other controls (which the standard Windows label cannot do).

Strip Chart
The Strip Chart control is a basic real-time strip chart with cursor, scroll, zoom, and zoom-box tools. To add data, you must add a time index first using the AddIndexTime method passing the new X-Axis time value. Use the return data index from AddIndexTime to then add data for each channel using the SetChannelData procedure. To improve performance, use the BeginUpdate and EndUpdate to prevent repaints every time a piece of data is added.
The user can use the cursor, scroll, zoom, and zoom-box tools while data is being plotted. The display will not scroll or auto-scale while the tools are being used. When the user switches out of the plot mode and into one of the tool modes, all X-Axis and Y-Axis settings are stored. When the user returns the mode back to plot, the previous X-Axis and Y-Axis settings are restored.
