3d mapping sensor behavior

[tunario]

Hello there

I am using Labview 8.5 at work. As you may already know, versions prior 8.6 have a 3D Sensor Mapping feature, that can help a lot with the development of a project.

However, I need to expose how does it work in order to get authorized a purchase or update of our LabVIEW liscense, to get a more recent version. We already have a closed source program for sensor mapping, that we don't even know what mathemathic techniques uses to map the data, nor can modify it to adjust our needs.

Just knowing the names of the interpolate/extrapolate/another-math techniques or algoritms are used for map the parts inbetween the model and the sensors, would be enough.

Thanks in advance.

Hi tunario

It uses a basic linear interpolation algorithm, and if you want to gain access to the interpolation VI that the Sensor Mapping Expresss VI uses you will need to follow these steps:

1. Place a Sensor Mapping Express VI on the block diagram
   2. Right click on the VI and select Open Front Panel (this will convert the VI from express format so we can view the block diagram)
   3. Inside this VI, open the Update Mode.vi
   4. In the top case structure of the block diagram you will find a subVI called interp.vi
   
   
   
   
   5. This is the VI that is used to interpolate values for the mapping.

I hope this is enough and if you need anything else just ask.
