XY Curve Plot in Labview

Hi Everybody,
I am a beginer to Labview and NI-ElVIS and as a begineer I am facing
some (maybe) trivial issue. Unfortunately I was not able to find
solution to the query and hence an looking forward to your help.
I have designed a circuit in NI-ELVIS and an viewing the output in
oscilloscope of NI-ELVIS software. However I am interested in plotting
XY- graph for the two channels that I am interested in observing. Can
anyone help me how can I do that ?
To make the problem a little more complicated, I am interested in
varying the supply voltages on NI-ELVIS board and would like to observe
the XY graph with respect to variation in voltages I am performing.
Currently I am using manual mode of ELVIS but I would like to control
the same through hardware alongwith plotting the XY curve.
Thanks,
-Gaurav

Hii, Dennis
Please explain me why this is happening, i am converting this using the option save with options and there is an option that save with version 7.0 at the left pan, but it is still not converted, when we are doing that in LabVIEW 8.0, to convert it into the LabVIEW 7.1, it is running OK, i mean it is not giving any error, why this is happening?
And Gaurav sorry, i dont know whu it is not happening? i think it should br there, but?????? i don know yaar!
Thanks,
Nishant

Interactive plots in Labview

Hello
I was wondering if it was possible to have interactive plots in Labview. Let me explain: for example I have plotted x by y and in this plot (graph) I want to be able to select data points by clicking the points on the plot. For example these may be outliers, or, I may want to subset these points out of this data, etc
Is it possible to do this in Labview? how? are there any good tutorials or sample vi's?
I will appreciate some guidance,
Cheers

One great way to interact with graphs in LabVIEW is by using cursors. I have attached an example I wrote that illustrates how cursors can be used to extract a subset of data from a graph. Please have a look at it. As far as resources to learn about LabVIEW, National Instruments has a host of different training options and I highly recommend them. Here is a link to the NI training site. There are instructor-led courses that you can sign up for in your area in addition to self-paced manuals that you can purchase and use to learn LabVIEW on your own.

Graph plot in labview to get time in seconds or minutes in X axis starting from 0.

How can we obtain time starting from 0 seconds or 0 minutes on X axis in a chart and XY graph in labview.When I plot it is showing the system time on X axis.I would prefer the time to start from 0 ( seconds) , rather than system time.Please reply.

I have NI cDAQ 9174 chasis and NI 9211 and NI 9207 for thermocouple (NI 9211) and current (NI 9207).Can I acquire all three data inputs within a single DAQ Assistant express vi.Because I tried to access all 3 in one DAQ Assisstant , but it was not accepting it.So I had to place one DAQ Assisstant for thermocouple readings and another for current.For reference I have attached my labview diagram.

Cannot copy and paste plot from LabVIEW to PPT

I am plotting a simple Y vs X curve using XY Graph and 2D Error Bar plot.
When I highlight the two plots, and do CTRL-C, and go to MS PowerPoint and do a CTRL-V, only the XY Graph is pasted.
My 2D Error Bar plot is NOT pasted, but I do see the label for it. This doesn't make any sense. Anyone knows why?

It's probably because the 2D error plot is an XControl, and not actually a "regular" graph.
Exporting the image will work, though.

How to combine multiple signals to one waveform plot in labview

hi everyone, im using labview 2011 and i need to take four different signals and plot them individual in one waveform chart and THEN i need to combine all four signals and plot the resultant in the SAME waveform chart as the four original ones. i have the four signals plotted but can not for the life of me figure out the resultant one. any ideas? thanks!

The word "combine" can have many meanings. Do you want to sum them, average them, concatenate them, or something else...

Changing XY graph to multiple plot freezes labview

Hi,
I have a 0-dimensional XY graph which is part of a fairly big VI which I want to change to a mulitple plot version. However, when I wire an array of XY-data clusters instead of just an XY data cluster LabView 2014 freezes and crashes:
LV freezes when i wire the lower 1-dim version.
There are mulitple VI references, Property nodes and Events in use from this graph. Usually this change is trivial, but for some reason it won't work here? Any ideas? Could it be a property node or VI reference that becomes incompatible when the dimensionality is changed?

There's not much that we can do to help without knowing what all you do with your code. It might be a property node. Might be a specific setting you have.
I can make the code in your screenshot all day and not have a problem, so it's specific to either your LabVIEW install or your code.
Your first step towards figuring this out is find all references, property nodes, and invoke nodes for this graph and pinpointing the problem. Remove each one-by-one, starting with the ones that have something to do with Active Plot or multiple graphs, until the freeze no longer happens. Then send a detailed bug report to NI to fix it for future versions.

How to display scope plot in Labview GUI?

I am trying to figure out how to show TDS8000 scope output plot in LV GUI(?)
This maybe a two fold question.
1. I suppose it may be necessary to adjust the scope scale with appropriate level so that the plot will show enough details of information. (e.g., finding Max and Min points)
2. how to display scope plot in LV GUI?
It would be a great help if anyone can share an example VI.
Thanks,

Hi jjlee,
It shouldn't be that difficult of a task. Most instrument drivers have
a simple initialize VI, and then some type of waveform measurement VI.
You would connect these two VIs and then take the output from the
waveform measurement (may be waveform acquire or something like that)
to a graph or chart (depending on if you're outside of inside of a
loop). That should be all you need to do for the simplest form of this
application. You would, of course, want to handle errors and close the
connection to the device when you're done collecting the data.
Hope this is of some help,
Regards,

Re: how to make bode plots in Labview 7.1 without using Control Toolbox

I am using Labview 10. I have connected a signal generator, a LP RC filter and an oscilloscope. I am using Labview in order to control the generator (sine with frequency sweep) and acquire the signal from the scope. I want to plot the Bode diagram without using the transfer function, from the amplitude of the sine signal and the frequency.
Thank you very much.
Best Regards.

Hi pflo,
Are you using the CD Bode Plot VI or the SI Bode Plot VI? For the CD plot you must use a transfer function. Below, please find a link to an example on how to create a Bode plot without using the toolkit.

How to make bode plots in Labview 7.1 without using Control Toolbox

I'm trying to make a bode plots from transfer function using Labview 7.1. My installed labview not contains any toolbox, so I have to create the block diagram of bode plots my self. I have a problem when creating the phase bode plots for polinomial with conjugate roots pairs. Suppose the polinomial is ax^2+bx+c, with a,b,c is the polinomial coefficients. If b coefficients is negatif, i have no problem, because the phase is start at 0, and the final value is 180. But if the b coefficient is positive, the phase plots starts at -180 and it's final value is 0. So, if there is any one who can helps me to give any solution, i'll really appreciate that. Or if there is any of you who had made the program to create the bode plots from a transfer function, i hope you can share the code with me. Thank you.

Hey pflo,
Are you using LabVIEW 7.1? Can you explain the problem that you are having with the using the Bode Plot VI? Below please find links to some documentation on the Control Design Toolkit. With further information on your problem I will be able to better assist you with the toolkit.

How do I calculate strain from a volt amplitude vs time plot that labview generates

I have set up four strain gages, a DAQ system and a coded output in labview. After running my program labview gives me a voltage vs time plot. How do I convert the voltage measurements to strain? My strain gages are configured in a Wheastone quarter bridge configuration. Thanks in advance for the help!!!!

Hello Jason,
On your task in Measurement and Automation Explorer you can either set up a scale or create a task for force measurements. When you acquire this it should give you the strain value and then you can change the label on the Y Axis to customize it.

3d surface plotting in Labview (Mac version)

I would like to be able to do 3 d surface graph on as discussed in Document ID: 27GI5SG4. It appears that this works only in the Windows version of Labview. Is this function going to be ported to the Mac version or is there another way to produce the same effect.

The 3d graphs for LabVIEW are based on ActiveX technology so they are only good for the Windows environment. I'm not aware of anything in LabVIEW that will produce similar results on the Macintosh. You may look at displaying your data in an intensity graph - it would still give you the ability to display 3 dimensions.

How can I change the legend of a plot in an excel chart using LabView?

Hi,
My question is:
I create a chart in Excel with LabView7 using ActiveX. There are 4 plots in one chart. How can I rename the legend (the name) of each plot with LabView?
Thanks.
Michi

Use the SeriesCollection(1).Name function. In LV, wire up the following:
_Chart into Method SeriesCollection (index = 1 to 4)
Cascade into Variant to Data (wire type Excel.Series)
Wire Series into Property Name, Write the string

How to implement Non linear Curve fitting (lsqcurvefit of matlab) in Labview

Hi Labview Team,
I am looking a way to implement "lsqcurvefit" command of matlab in Labview to do some curve fitting ; basically to Solve nonlinear curve-fitting (data-fitting) problems in least-squares sense, at present I couldn't find a better way to implement it. Can you please give me some suggestion on this to how to implement this " curve-fitting: on labview.
Thanks,
Ankit Gupta

You did not say you have the mathscript module. Do you? In any case, labview has a rich set of native nonlinear fitting tools. This seems like a better option.

Why does the graph cursor (snap mode) snap to unvisible curves? How can i change that?

I display several curves in one graph. To get a better overview the user can filter unwanted curves by setting the attibute to unvisible. There is one cursor switched on in the graph with the option "snap to plot". The user can move the cursor and read the coordinates and curvename. Unfortunately the cursor snaps also to the unvisible curves. How can I block that behaviour? The cursor should only jump on the visible curves.

> with the property Cursor.Plot I can set or get the current plot number

>
The graph cursors can be locked to a particular plot or set to snap to
any plot/point on the screen. You cannot see invisible plots, and you
probably can't see black plots on a black background, but the graph
intentionally lets you place cursors there and other users wouldn't be
happy if it changed.
What we will likely add at some point is a way to truly show and hide a
plot. In the meantime, you can also just change w
hat is plotted.
Hidden plots can be removed, no points, and the cursors will not go there.

Stl files and labview

Ok here we go
Purpose: 3d micro/nanofabrication of collagen matrixes via multiphoton excitation.
What this means: A laser is driven by two mirrors attached to galvanometers and controlled by labview. When the laser passes over the collage (several times) it becomes crosslinked. The result is a potential micro scale cell scaffold that has potential in tissue engineering.
The goal: As of now we have limited capabilities for creating 3d structures. Lines rectangles and circles are easy enough but anything larger..or deeper requires the movement of an xyz stage which is also controlled by labview. The goal is to be able to be able to simply create an object in autocad (or a similar product) output the file to labview and run the galvanometers, which incidentally, move according to how much voltage is passed through them.
Ideas: Let's say we wanted to create a sphere. The laser only has one plane of focus so to create a 3d object requires slicing. Divide the sphere up into several hundred slices, which, when stacked loosely resemble a jagged sphere. Slicing can be done in a program called Magics RP. This is where the .stl file comes in. From magics rp we should be able to get an .stl file that describes the coordinates of these slices (in ascii or binary format) and from here transfer the job over to labview.
Problem: NO IDEA how to go about doing that last step. Does labview have anything built in to handle .stl files?? Any advice appreciated.

Hi Jimbo2,
The only mechanisms for creating 3D plots in LabVIEW are using the 3D Surface Graph, 3D Parametric Graph, and 3D Curve Graph. I don't know if these graphs will fit your application, you could probably better determine that than myself. Also, to my knowledge there is nothing inherent to LabVIEW to directly handle .stl files. However, you might be able to find a 3rd party program that will display .stl files. If the 3rd party package has an ActiveX control, you can embed it into the front panel of your VI using an ActiveX Container and call methods and properties to the control using the property nodes and invoke nodes in the ActiveX palette in LabVIEW.
I hope this gives you a couple of ideas,
