Polar Plots

[RovingCalypso]

I am a complete beginer to Labview and am trying to use polar plots in labview.

The problem is that I can't input a function into the polar plot (i am trying to modify the polar plot demo that came with labview examples). The demo has a random function as an input.

So my question is that how do i input a function and it runs/animates for some time? A function like Sin (2*pi*t) where t is a variable with values from, say, 1 to 100. So that some sort of animation can be observed on the polar plot.

Use the "ramp pattern.vi" to create your time sequence. The draw a for loop, place a sine.vi in for loop. Connect the ramp pattern output to the sine function and so on.

or

simply as figure 2

.

Put a for loop after the sine calculations and put your indicator inside with an wait inside.
