I am attempting to design and construct a "Virtual Archery Simulator". The simulator consists of a screen that is monitored by two Maxbotix MB1000 ultra sonic sensors. The sensors detect and calculate the X-Y position of the arrow strike location once an end user fires an arrow from a compound bow and the arrow strikes the screen. The idea is to display the point of impact to the end user and score the strike location.
The problem I am running into is relating the X-Y position data to a projected image in LabView and displaying the arrow strike location. Any ideas or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Hello RRT440,
As I understand, the sensors send to LabVIEW an XY coordinate. You can use the “XY graph” control which takes an XY coordinate and plot that point. You could also experiment by customizing that control in order to mix it with the image you want to project with the “XY ghraph” control.

Thank you very much for the response. I attached a screenshot of my block diagram and as you can see I am getting an error. The error message is saying that the data is of two types, the source is a cluster of two elements and the sink is a 1D array of 2 elements. I have not had any sucess myself fixing this problem. Any suggestions on how to remedy this situation?

HAve you tried using the "Cluster To Array Function" which converts a cluster of elements of the same data type to a 1D array of elements of the same data type?
