I can make the sinewave example work thru the standard serial port. But when I modify the sketch for an XBee series 1 on pins 8 & 11, I'm unable to see any plot data. What must I do to the arduino sketch to have the XYPlot data sent via my XBee.
Thanks

Here is your example sketch with my SoftwareSerial & Xbee modifications

#include "MegunoLink.h"

void loop()
{
double dY, dY2;
float seconds;
float frequency = 0.5; //Hz
float phase = 3.141 / 2;
seconds = (float)millis() / 1000;
dY = sin(2 * 3.141 * frequency * seconds);
dY2 = cos(2 * 3.141 * frequency * seconds + phase);
//Send Data To MegunoLink Pro
MyPlot.SendData(F("Sinewave"), dY); // Sinewave = series name, dY = data to plot
MyPlot.SendData(F("Cosinewave"), dY2); // By wrapping strings in F("") we can save ram by storing strings in program memory
