Owning Palette: Sound and Vibration VIs

Use the Display VIs to display signals on several types of graphs and plots, including a colormap, waterfall graph, and an octave waterfall graph. If you have the NI Sound and Vibration Measurement Suite, you can use additional types of plots.

The VIs on this palette can return ranges of LabVIEW error codes or specific sound and vibration error codes.

Refer to the examples\Sound and Vibration and examples\Order Analysis directories for examples of using the Display VIs.

Palette Object	Description
OA Orbit Plot	Draws an orbit plot with unfiltered or filtered data on an XY graph. The unfiltered data comes from the even-angle signals input, and the filtered data comes from the magnitudes and phases [phase lag] inputs.
OA Timebase Plot	Draws a timebase plot with unfiltered or filtered data on an XY graph. The unfiltered data comes from the even-angle signals input, the filtered data from the magnitudes and phases [phase lag] inputs. The timebase plot displays the amplitude of a signal as a function of time and marks the tachometer trigger point on the plot. The data type you wire to the even-angle signals input determines the polymorphic instance to use.
OAT Polar Plot	Draws a polar plot on a picture control and adds labels. The polar plot displays the magnitude and phase of a certain order on a picture control. You must manually select the polymorphic instance to use. Use the Manual Label instance if you want to label the polar plot manually.
OAT Shaft Centerline Plot	Draws a shaft centerline plot on a picture control. Shaft centerline plots display the averaged positions of the shaft center. Mount two transducers of the same type orthogonally, ninety degrees out of phase, to acquire data for a shaft centerline plot.
SVX Buffer Waterfall Graph	Buffers signals and returns the buffered signals up to a maximum count. If you use this VI with the Waterfall Graph, the display mimics the behavior of a chart.
SVX Convert Colormap to Waterfall	Converts Colormap data to Waterfall Graph data.
SVX Convert Waterfall to Colormap	Converts Waterfall Graph data to Colormap data.
