Write equations on front panel for data aquisition

[Terreh]

Hello,

I was wondering if its possible while a VI is running to:

1. Write a custom equation on front panel.
2. Use the equation on data aquired as the VI is running.
3. Plot the data calculated. 

Cheers

The limit is your imagination!

Yes it can be done, there are several options, the most appropriate will depend on the details of what you expect. Things to consider (list is not exhaustive) :

- What data are we talking about : what's the data? where does it come from, continuous acquisition? pre-recorded data files? else? What data type? What amount of data?

- What type of equation will you need to use? Trigonometry? simple polynoms? else?

- What display type are you using? XY Graph? else?

Do you have a piece of code we can start from?

Voltage and Current, I don't have any VI made, and yes I would probably like to graph it

sine waves, 3 phase

I think you should take a look at the examples (Help >> Find example... >> search tab >> try with formula or equation), there's one that shows a simple way, look here : C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2011\Examples\measure\maxmpl.llb\Waveform Generation Using Formula.vi

hope this helps
