I wanted to try to help this person, so I did a little reverse-engineering of your VI and discovered the following:

Not really. 😄

Another one of those who just won't give it a try.  Even though all that is needed is a simple multiply or divide (depending on which way in the equation they want to go).  We suspect homework...

Curious to see how long it takes them to realize I gave them a VI with no block diagram...Smiley Surprised


But decided to leave them a password protected VI.  I really hope they read the VI description...

Allows the user to adjust the resistance with a dial and get the corresponding I-V curve.

Because we are dealing with V=IR, the curve will always be a straight line and is quite boring.

Assuming this is a homework problem and the original poster did not show any interest in trying to do it themselves, I am supplying this VI with with password protection.  This means that the VI will not be editable and can only be used as is.  Furthermore, the block diagram will not be able to be seen.

I think we've found our new standard operating procedure for people requesting homework help. If they show no signs of trying themselves, give them a VI that's password protected!

I also like putting the thread information in the VI documentation.  Hopefully teachers will look there and the students will just turn in what we gave them.

The sad thing is that they could have done it and learned something in the time it would take somebody to dig for it and then hand it over and then learned nothing.

 

A lot of people don't realize that we are volunteers.  I can't count the number of times people on this forum thought I was an NI employee.  Then again, Stephen Mercer (Aristos Queue) thought I (the person, not the forum poster) was an NI employee until he saw me in the Challenge of the Champions last year at NI Week.  I considered that one heck of a compliment.

Gets even funnier with google....

 

Funny as all get out when you realize they are reverse engineered pelco knockoffs from the esprit series.

 

and still even funnier when I can plug in my keychain and find 

E:\Eng Svc Code\LabVIEW 2010\Main Folder\Projects\Pelco\PELCO SOURCE\

 

So, given some external hardware (I can point you to a source for exact specifications) I could test those internals!
