erties and assign up to 8 datapoints to the strip chart. Enter names to describe the datapoints

by expanding the DataNames property. Next, change the number-of-data-points property

describe your strip chart. You can further customize the look of the strip chart by editing the

other strip chart properties based upon your preferences.
