How do I make a sine wave in illustrator?

Hi,
I started a thread earlier this evening but I think that I accidentally flagged it as "solved" or something like that (I'm new to this forum). So I'm trying this again. I want to know if there's a way of creating a sine wave in illustrator. I've managed to create a cosine wave by using the zig zag effect on a line and choosing "smooth". But I can't seem to find a good way to make a sine wave.
This is the difference for anyone wondering:
I want a sine wave just like the picture above.
Thanks for the help!

ekmanch,
As I (mis)understand it, to create a single full sine wave, you may:
1) Create a horizontal line 2.5 times the length of the desired full sine wave (or you may adapt the length later);
2) Effect>Distort & Transform>Zig Zag with 4 Ridges per segment and Smmoths Points and the desired height as the Size (or you may adapt later);
3) Object>Expand Appearance;
4) Object>Path>Add Anchor Points;
5) With the Scissors Tool cut where the sine wave starts and ends;
6) Ungroup if needed and delete the end bits (and adapt the length/height if needed).

I would like to create a sine wave in Illustrator. How do I do this in a simple way?

Hi,
As the title suggest I would like to create a sine wave in illustrator. I know that applying the zig zag effect to a line and choosing "smooth" will create a cosine wave. But is there a simple way like that to create a sine way? Or any way at all?
Thanks for the help!
ekmanch

1. start with the zig zag effect
2. with the scissor tool cut where the ends of the red line is - I made the rest blue to make it clear
3. delete the blue segments to get this
4. using the black pointer or scale tool stretch horizontally to match the reference
5. using the white pointer select one of the smooth anchor points, and using the Scale tool and holding Shift drag to scale constraining horizontally until the curve matches the reference
6. select the other smooth point and with the scale tool selected press the Enter key on your keyboard twice to apply the previous scale

How to get, write the sin wave frequency

hey,
How can I get the sin wave frequency from sin wave?- on the diagram. Problem is about saved this parametr to the fille. I have just only last one. I would like to have fequency adequate to the Im and Re (Im, Re: parametrs witch are saved correctly)
Best regards,
Marek

Your program will not work because you because many of the functions you use must have timing information. And that information is not included by you as programmer. You have just included some functionality without reflecting over what these functions do and what they need as input. A programmer must have attention to details. You can not just throw out some VIs in a happy go lucky style.
Much of your problems is caused by the pesky dynamic data type. This is something that NI have glued ontop of Labview using very cheap glue. The whole concept is just flimflam and you should avoid using it.
I can see you are a beginner. And that is OK we have all been there sometime. A very powerful function in Labview is the online help option. Then you start a new Labview session go to help in the toolbar. Then select "show Context Help" (ctrl+h). Then in doubt use the "detailed help option" in the online help window.
I have included something to push you in the correct direction. As you can see many of red dots at the connector panes is gone. That is a good sign. Post again if you have more problems
Besides which, my opinion is that Express VIs Carthage must be destroyed deleted
(Sorry no Labview "brag list" so far)

Make a sine wave

Is there an easy way to make a sine wave, or maybe better
yet, a sawtooth form on the stage? It needs to be precisely
symmetric.
I want to represent energy in an illustration, like gamma
radiation. Thanks.

make a table with two columns:
Column A contains time (or angle)
Column B contains the sin functions that uses the value in the same row of column A
like:
Make the first row a header.
A2=ROW()*PI()/30
B2=SIN(A2)
select A2 and B2, then fill down by grabbing (click and hold) the little circle at the bottom right of the selection then drag dow as needed.
now select columns A and B, then select the Scatter Chart from the Chart men u in the tool bar.

How to generate 3 phase sine wave to output on ELVIS

Hi .I need to make a star or delta connected circuit on ELVIS board.2 make this circuit I need 3 wave generator( with 120 phase shift) and one common ground
and because the ELVIS function generator can only generate one wave I decided to generate countionuos sine wave in Labview.
Now I can generate 2 continuis sine wave in labview and output them on the analog outputs of ELVIS.Ao-0 and A0-1
but I dont know what to do for the third signal.the elvis board just has 2 analouge output and when I use Ao-0 and A0-1 I cant use ELVIS function generator after that.so would u please help me on this problem.how can I output 3 contious sine wave in Elvis.I have attached my VI to this post

How can I get stable Sin wave through NI 9264 ?

Dear all,
I would like to generate 64 analog sin wave with frequency up to 20K Hz.
Then I bought 4 NI9264:
25 kS/s/ch simultaneous output
Hot-swappable operation
Spring terminal or D-SUB connectivity options
250 Vrms isolation (spring terminal version)
60 VDC isolation (D-SUB version)
.The attached is my file for the generation. when I used Osciloscope to monitor the output, I could not get any stable output.
Could I have the reasons and suggestions for my objective please?
Thanks!

64 Channel Programmatic v2.vi ‏22 KB

Hi Zhuming,
The VI above only provides waveform information for a single channel. In order to output data across all 64 channels in the task, we can make use of a For Loop to build an array of waveform information for each channel. In the example below, I've made use of an Auto-Indexing For Loop in order to build up a waveform output array of 64 elements. I've wired this to an NI-DAQmx Analog 1D Wfm Write VI; the 1D array's elements represents each channel in the group of selected channels for generation.
An important thing to note is that the NI 9264 16 channel analogue output modules have a maximum sample rate of 25 kS/s/ch. This means that each channel is capable of writing 25kS/s simultaneously.
To reliably generate a signal, we generally need to have it comprised of around 5 to 10 points of data. This allows us to represent the signal to a good degree of accuracy. For example, if I wanted to reliably output a 1Hz Sine Wave, I would need to break the 1Hz wave into ten separate points and then output them at a rate of 10Hz. In terms of the NI 9264, the maximum frequency content (Two points of information) that can be generated is 25kHz/2 = 12.5kHz wave. The maximum clear wave frequency that we could produce with the 9264 (A wave built up of ten points) is 2.5kHz simultaneously across each channel. This is all to do with Nyquist's Theorem. This should explain why the frequency appeared to drop.
Out of interest, how are you measuring these output frequencies?
Kind Regards,

How can I Write a sine wave in an Access-file?

I measure a sine wave in LabView 6i. How can I write the datas automatically to an Acces-file, at the same time?
In my program, I managed it with Execute SQL.vi, I change a number in a SQL statement(String) -> after this I push start and then it writes the statement in the Access-file.
The problem is, it writes only one data per measurement in the file. How can I write all datas in the Access-file and measure the wave at the same time?
Thanks for help!

On the waveform palette, you will find a "to components" vi that you can break out the array of the waveform. You can then, using a for loop write all of the values from the waveform.
Better yet, there are examples in the database toolkit manual on pages 3-13 to 3-15 that deal with reading arrays (and even has a waveform example).
Good luck!

How can I output successive sine wave sequences?

I'm using Labview 8.2.1 and I'd like to output sequences of sine voltage waves to a motor, each sequence being associated with n number of cycles at a given frequency and magnitude. For instance, three 0.5V sine cycles at 1Hz followed by three 0.2V sine cycles at 10Hz - no waiting time in-between and all data saved to a given folder. I've been using the 'Cont Gen Voltage Wfm-Ext Clk.vi' within the example library. I added to that a stacked structure thinking that I could copy-paste the first sine sequence to the next frame - changing only the frequency+magnitude values of the sine wave - but I couldn't get the second sequence to execute. I tried out other options with different timed structures but it was not successful either. My block diagram for now looks like this:
What fundamental steps/elements am I missing?
Thanks for your help,
Thibault.

Instead of using frames let’s try something a little bit simpler. First your generation is set to continuous so it will never go to the next frame until the first task is done.
You have two options to solve this problem:
1.       You build the waveform the way you want it, and then you start the generation with the whole waveform load into the card. Just need to make sure this will limit the size of your waveform to as much memory you have on your card. Advantage about this approach is there will not be time gaps between one signal and the other one
2.       The other option is to start the generation with one waveform stop it and start it over with different specification. Basically what this is what you are trying to do, but you need to change your generation to: “N samples”. One thing to consider about this approach is that your signal will have a gap every time your task is started and stopped.
Let me know if it helps
Two point to remember, this is a question that can be answer more correctly in DAQmx discussion forums not, labview and next time if you can reduce the picture width to less than 500 pixels.

How to generating three phase sine wave simutiously with Vistual C++?

Here I want to generate three phase sinewave at the same time with the phase angel 120 continiously. I can creat a task that contain 3 AOs, and generate 3 same sine wave at the same time. But I can not create 3 individual task which contains one AO channel, and write data to FIFO. Please tell me how to realize it?

Hello, Rilee,
Thank you very you very much. But I am still confused. The website I can not open. As you said, I shall create a data array to contain three phase data, for example, sinedata[750], sinedata[0:249] contains first AO, and sinedata[250:499] the second, and the rest is the third. then
1. send the data for sinedata[0] to sinedata[249], to the board. with DAQmxWriteAnalogF64;
2. send the data for sinedata[250] to sinedata[499], to the board. with DAQmxWriteAnalogF64;
3. send the data for sinedata[500] to sinedata[749], to the board. with DAQmxWriteAnalogF64;
and or so.
Is all the above description right?
Here I have several questions:
1. When shall I send second section sample data? I think it shall be all the first data have been written to the board. And How can I know that all the first section data have been sent to the buffer?
2. If I call DAQmxWriteAnalogF64 to write the second section data to buffer after the have finished first section data written, will this function affects the wave of the first section data?

How can i do a sine wave with High Throughput Sine for fpga?

I try to do a sine wave looking the examples but i can't. I have a sbRio 9606.
I need to do a sine wave with high throughput block. In my exercise i have 2 inputs (amplitude and frecuency) and i have to look the output (sinewave)
I need help!!

Hi pablosan,
If I understood correctly, you want to generate a sine wave with a high throughput block in Labview FPGA.
I'm afraid you won't e able to do this, as these blocks are specifically designed for other FPGA targets with better features for high performance. So instead of using the example named "Sine and Cosine.lvproj" under High Throughput examples, you can use the "Sine Wave.lvproj" under Signal Generation and Processing examples, which is more adequate to your Single-Board RIO.
Regards.

How to generate a continuous sine wave for a given amount of time

I am trying to output a continuous sine wave for a speaker, but I am having difficulty making it continuous rather than looping the signal for a given amount of time, which causes discontinuities. There is a VI in the Labview examples titles Continous Generation, but it produces a square wave. Is there a way to adapt this VI such that the amplitude and frequency can be used as inputs to create a sine wave?

I found a VI that ships with labview(7.0)called continuous sound output. the output of this is a sine wave or you can change it to whatever you want.
Sorry cannot help more

How do I make a typography image in illustrator?

How do I make an image like the one below in illustrator? I want to do this with my logo and small font. I am new to illustrator but i am okay with the basics. Thank you for your time.

Allan,
I am just an old native helping out here (since sometime round the turn of the millennium, in the days of the fair forums before the Mac and Win tribes were merged in this common forum).
We do have Adobe forum staff friends regularly, mostly on weekdays; they have staff written with their name.

How do I make a dotted line in Illustrator?

I've figured out how to make a dashed line (under Stroke), but how do I make a dotted line? Little round circles, one after the other that I can resize, turn into a circle, stick to a path?
Thanks

The string of pearls was done on CS2
The orange "pearls" had a stroke weight of 40 pt, Dash 0, Gap 42 and a new black stroke behind with a weight of 42 pt.
Then the stroke was copied, coloured just white and moved a bit to make the white "highlights". Weight 10 pt, Dash 0, Gap 42.
I suppose, if one could be bothered, it would be possible to make a string of pearls with alternating big and small pearls by using a combination of dash settings on New Strokes. Should work all right as long as the Dash is a constant or an exact multiple. I can't be bothered!
I don't understand that bit about having the last gap as 0. The pearls came out fine with just one setting for the dash and one for the gap. The other boxes weren't filled in.

My problem is that most of the music I plan on putting on the player is downloaded li've music (legal, of course), and I can't for the life of me figure out how to create one long file from the tracks when they're on the computer, not a CD (and burning a CD just to create a file kind of defeats my purpose for getting the Zen Xtra... I'm sick of burning).
The gaps haven't really affected me with other music I've put on, but it's going to annoy the heck out of me if I get one in the middle of a sweet Scarlet > Fire ;-)

How can I make a warp/wave animation of my logo, and drop it into muse?

I have made a Logo that has a wave like feature to it, it is round, and I made and animation of it warping, rotating, and moving around the screen with After Effects. Now I have realised that after effects was probably not the right program to make a transparent animation which I want to place over a full page slideshow in Muse. I cannot seem to find the right effects in Adobe Edge Animation to create the same effect.
Any suggestions as to which program I should be using?
Or is there a way to export After Effects into Edge, or directly to Muse? (It needs to be transparent and on a loop)
Hereby a link to the animation:
