How to narrow a X-Y graph

Hi,
I am acquiring two analog signals( voltage and current) using NI myDAQ device. I am using DAQ assistant to configure the two analog input channels(voltage and current) I am able to see the current response with respect to applied voltage using a X-Y graph. However, the graph is too wide. is there any way I can get a nice thin graph. I think I probably have to average the data points that I am collecting but I dont know how to do it. Any kind of help is greatly appreciated.
I have attached the screen shot of the VI.
Thanks,
Mahesh

Look at the linewidth and interpolation setting in the graph properties. Use linear interpolation.
If this is related to your other questions, note that you use a weird interpolation and never clear the xy graph, meaning that you accumulate an infinite amount of traces eventually, until you run out of memory. Both problems can contribute to the apparent width.

How do I make an XY-Graph plot points over time?

I am building a program to plot and take data of a relationship between two voltages. One is voltage is uniquely dependent on the other. So far I have successfully built an XY-Graph to plot the voltages against each other (Voltage1 along the x-axis and Voltage2 along the y-axis). However, the XY-Graph only diplays the point (V1, V2) at the instantaneous time I am looking at it, and does not continuously plot different points as I vary the independent voltage. I need the graph to display all the points that occur as I vary the independent voltage. As of right now, all I see is one little cursor that moves all over the graph as I vary it. My program consists of a While Loop that contains all of the following: two seperate data anolog input functions that take both voltage separately from my board. The the output samples from each 'AI Sample' function are then bundled into one cluster using the 'bundle' function. The cluster output from the 'bundle' function is then wired to a 'build array' function. The 1-D array output from the 'build array' function is then wired to my 'XY-Graph'. How do I get the XY-Graph to plot a point every millisecond or so?

Bundling and then using the Build Array is not correct. Yuo can see the correct method in the help for an XY Graph below. In order to use the normal XY Grpah, you would have two shif registers. One for the X array and one for the Y. Bundle the two arrays and then wire to the graph.
The other way is to use the Express XY Graph. With that, you can just wire your scalars to the X and Y inputs and set the Reset input to false.

I would like to know how i can create a bell graph with out using sub VIs, the data that i created consists in 500 readings with values of 0 to 100, i calculated the mean value and standard diviation. I hope some one can help me

Here's a quick example I threw together that generates a sort-of-bell-curve shaped data distribution, then performs the binning and plotting.

How can i get the average graph?(DIAdem)

hi,
How can i get the average graph(2D-graph) of 10 measures?
Can someone please help me?
THX!!!

Hello Charleen!
If you want to do it programmatically have a look at the ChnAverage command in the help (see also StatBlockCalc for advanced calculations). Interactive you can use the statistic functions in the ANALYSIS device.

How can I make a waveform graph store the entire wave, not just the current time period and how can I save the actual graph?

I am taking temp readings with a 4 channel DAQ, sending them to a waveform graph and exporting the data to excel, how do I manipulate the graph to take a continuous reading as opposed to losing the previous GUI and how can I save the entire graph?
Using LabVIEW 2011 operating on Windows 7 professional.

That is the nature of the chart -- everything not in the history is lost (it is a FIFO buffer of length=1024 samples by default).
The scroll bar is probably grayed out because you're show all of the data.
Attached is a program that will add 5 random points to a graph and prompt you for a file location where to save a JPG snapshot of the graph. It's not particularly good programming style, but it has all of the elements/concepts you're after.

how to draw a directed 2D graph in java?-if anybody can suggest some tutorials about this topic or can suggest the way to draw the graph.......how can i do that.......if the nodes of the graph has X and Y co-ordinate.........and the neighbours of each node are known.......suppose
node1 has neighboures node2,node3 and node4.....node2 has node5 and node3 as neighbours.....in this way....so directed edge from node1 to node2,node3,and node4......

How to create X-Bar R graphs in numbers

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to create X-Bar R graphs in numbers. It is beyond frustrating. Can anyone provide any insight? Thanks

Hi Zac,
I am not sure what you mean by an X-Bar graph. R has a box plot. Is that perhaps what you want?
More information will lead to a solution .
A screen shot of what you are trying to achieve will help.

The standard Excel Insert Graph.vi cannot insert multiple XY Graphs to Microsoft Excel, so you will need to use the Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office. You will find a link to an example program at the bottom of the page. I have also attached it below.

How can I print out the graph I need only, without the controls and indicators?

I'm doing some programming in LABVIEW. I need to print out only the graph, without the buttons, controls, indicators. I tried to look for such a function in LABVIEW, but in vain. How can I achieve the result I expect in my programming?

Hi Fenny,
you should use the report generation functions to create a report containing your graph image and print it.
Take a look at the Sample Test Report.vi you find in the report examples of LV.
Just look at the part of the diagram where it is used Append Control Image to report.vi (in the center of the report functions chain); a graph reference is wired to the Ctrl reference input ( to create a reference of your graph right click on it and select create reference).
Let me know if you need more help,

How to Narrow the Design of an Entire Page

Hi,
     I have been working on this problem for a while and still do not have an answer. I use Dreamweaver CS5.5. I am new at writing html code.
My question is: How do I set the width to a more narrowed setting of my entire design that is currently centered on my page. This would allow more of the background (sky) to show on the left and right sides of my page. Is it even possible at this late date after completeing the website.
You can see how my webpage looks now at -
www.lanisakai.com
Can I change some code to acheive this effect either in the index.html page or the "twoColLiqLtHdr.css" page or both?
Here is the code for both pages.

1) Padding is only placed on the top and/or bottom of the divs. The elements within these divs have padding on their sides. This saves you from any "box model math". Keep in mind, if you add any side padding or border to the div itself, it will be added to the width you define to create the *total* width. You may also choose to remove the padding on the element in the div and place a second div within it with no width and the padding necessary for your design.
2) No margin has been given to the columns since they are all floated. If you must add margin, avoid placing it on the side you're floating toward (for example: a right margin on a div set to float right). Many times, padding can be used instead. For divs where this rule must be broken, you should add a "display:inline" declaration to the div's rule to tame a bug where some versions of Internet Explorer double the margin.
3) Since classes can be used multiple times in a document (and an element can also have multiple classes applied), the columns have been assigned class names instead of IDs. For example, two sidebar divs could be stacked if necessary. These can very easily be changed to IDs if that's your preference, as long as you'll only be using them once per document.
4) If you prefer your nav on the right instead of the left, simply float these columns the opposite direction (all right instead of all left) and they'll render in reverse order. There's no need to move the divs around in the HTML source.

background-attachment: fixed;
width: 75%;}
It might work or not depending on your other color scheme.

How can I get a "still" graph of my measured values?

As a student working on my thesis I have to use LabView7Express to acquire data from surface measurement (using CCD laser sensor).Once the measurements have been acquired, I need to dispay the surface hight evolution on a graph. So far I have only been able to view moving, real time graphs... Can anyone tell me if what I need to do is possible and if it is, how to programm it?
Thanks for your help!

Check the attached file. Basically, you use the invode node to "capture" the control and save it to file or displayed to a picture control.

How to add more than one graph to a pivot table??

Hi,
I have a report containing product,store,offers per store as dimensions and spending,Buying households as measures.My requirement is to show 'Store' in a section and corresponding report(which contains product,offers of that store,spending and Buying HH) and individual graphs for spending and buying households( 2graphs).I mean if I have 3 stores, I should get 3 sections of stores and each section should contain corresponding report and graphs. The main requirement is that "USER" should able to export or print the whole report at a time.
I used pivot table to achieve this but I could only show one graph per store but I need two graphs for both spending and Buying HH.Please help me how to achieve.
Your valuable suggestions are well appreciated!!!

How can I include a Labview graph in a TestStand report?

Hi All,
I have a new need that I have never done before in TestStand. I have a Labview VI in which I am sending results to a graph.. I would like to include that graph in the TestStand report. I have searched the help and the forums and have come up empty. Any ideas out there as to how to accomplish this? Thanks in advance for any help.
Troy
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Raj - Thanks for the response and that solution does work. The problem is that the graphs that I am including are more elaborate than what TestStand is doing by default. Some of the graphs will have three traces on them to show spectral masks test with lower and upper limits. These graphs will also be used in reports and I would like them to show up larger, kind of like when you have a graph in Labview and you can use its reference to save it to an HTML report.

How to perform FT on XY Graph data?

Hello,
I have my data in two 1D arrays (X and Y) and plotted in an XY Graph. I did not use a waveform because it was not a time signal, it was a spatial one with an uneven interval. Briefly, the experiment measured the output of an amplifier as the position of a mirror was varied through several millimeters. I need the fourier transform of this plot but cannot figure out how to do it in labview.
I've uploaded the raw data file which is a tab delimited txt file. If this is transposed and displayed in an XY graph you will retrieve the curve I need to FT. As the X data is on the order of 1E-10 I am expecting reciprocal space, X', to be on the order of 1E+10.
Please help, I have been playing about with FFT.vi and signal processing VI's all day and cannot seem to get anywhere.

FFT assumes that your data is equally spaced in X, but you said that you have uneven intervals (if I understand you right).
There is a tool for unevenly sampled data: Unevenly Sampled Signal Spectrum VI
You could also resample your data into a even grid using interpolation.
A waveform graph does not imply time data, you can call the axis anything you want. The only requirement is that the data has a constant x-increment. If it does, you can di a plain FFT on the Y array and calculate df from dx and N.
EDIT: looking at your data: for all practical purpose it is sampled equally in time, the differences are due to the limited decimal resolution. the delta is randomly either 3.3E-14 or 3.4E-14, depending on where you look. You could just use an average delta.
