VB.Net Orbit plot for shaft center line

[MyKat]

Hello,

Looking for some Vb.Net example based on Measurment studio controls illustrates how to make shaft center line (x,y) Orbit plot

From what I can tell the orbit plot just requires a simple XY-type graph. With Measurement Studio you would use a ScatterGraph to display this type of plot. Here's a document with some example graphing code:

Take care!

What i need is exactly made with labview example

i think it is not only to plot X versus X to do the shaft centerline Orbit plot,ther is some more math involved , is it possible to reproduce this vi with MStudio ? if not

any idea what math was used to do the centerline orbit plot?

Best Regard

MyKat,

The VI that you referenced relies on the Sound and Vibration Measurement Suite, which is a separate product from LabVIEW.  You would not be able to run or replicate the example without that additional software.  Unfortunately, there is no equivalent version for Measurement Studio or CVI, and there is no easy way to bring the Sound and Vibration Measurement Suite into those environments.

Here are some links I found that talk about orbit plots and the shaft centerline plot that is in the example LabVIEW VI.  These might give you an idea of what is involved in making the plots so that you can investigate making your own.  You may find additional helpful resources by searching the web further.

I hope that this helps.  You can always create your own plots using the custom plot tools in Measurement Studio as mentioned above.  However, if all of that is too daunting and you really need those plots, then I would highly recommend investing in the Sound and Vibration Measurement Suite to reduce development time.
