histogram bin values

[Rob_F]

I am using the histogram function to determine the amount of windspeeds that occur at a certain velocity.  I want the bins to be in increments of 0.5

ex.

0

0.5

1.0

1.5

etc

I have set the bins with a min of 0, a max of 10, with 20 as the # of bins.  The output is:

0.25

0.75

1.25

1.75

etc

What do I need to do for the bins to show up starting from the stated minum (in this case 0)?

With histograms bins have widths and the output bin position if the center of the range. So if the bin is at 0.25, it will hold a count for every value between 0 and 0.5, 0.75 will hold a count for values between 0.5 and 1.0 - and so forth.

I believe you are looking at the axis value and according to the help for that VI

Axis specifies the center values for each bin of Histogram. The centers of each bin are set according to the following equation and returned in the output array Axis.

center[i] = (lower + upper)/2,

where lower is the lower boundary of bin i, and upper is the upper boundary of bin i.

So the values you are getting are correct and expected.  The bin does go from 0-.5 etc.
