LightningChart Basic

Current version: 1.5 (Released October 26th, 2011)

LightningChart Basic is a good choice for applications needing to present dynamic data graphic presentation in real-time or review it afterwards. It gives very good real-time monitoring performance with low CPU load. LightningChart Basic is like LightningChart Pro, but lacks some features and the real-time rendering performance is restricted. See the comparison table for details. LightningChart Basic is entirely GPU accelerated (Direct3D).
