Owning Palette: Tachometer Processing VIs

Installed With: Sound and Vibration Measurement Suite

Converts a speed profile XY graph to a waveform. This VI also attaches the information of the input speed profile XY graph and pulse-per-revolution to the output waveform.

	reset? specifies the initialization of the internal states. If reset? is TRUE, or when the VI first runs, the internal states initialize to zero. If reset? is FALSE, this VI sets the internal states to the final states from the previous call to the VI. The default is FALSE.
	speed profile specifies the arrival time and the rotational speed of each tachometer pulse. time [s] specifies the arrival time, in seconds, of each tachometer pulse. speed [RPM] specifies the rotational speed, in revolutions per minute, of each tachometer pulse.
	analog tacho signal specifies the input analog tachometer signal.
	pulse/revolution specifies the number of pulses the tachometer generates during each revolution. The default is 1.
	update rate (s) specifies the time interval of the output waveform speed profile. update rate (s) must be greater than 0. When update rate (s) is equal to or less than 0, this VI sets update rate (s) to 0.01. The default is 0.01.
	error in describes error conditions that occur before this node runs. The default is no error. If an error occurred before this node runs, the node passes the error in value to error out. This node runs normally only if no error occurred before this node runs. If an error occurs while this node runs, it runs normally and sets its own error status in error out. Use the Simple Error Handler or General Error Handler VIs to display the description of the error code. Use error in and error out to check errors and to specify execution order by wiring error out from one node to error in of the next node. status is TRUE (X) if an error occurred before this node ran or FALSE (checkmark) to indicate a warning or that no error occurred before this node ran. The default is FALSE. code is the error or warning code. The default is 0. If status is TRUE, code is a nonzero error code. If status is FALSE, code is 0 or a warning code. source specifies the origin of the error or warning and is, in most cases, the name of the node that produced the error or warning. The default is an empty string.
	rotation direction specifies the direction in which the shaft rotates. 0 CCW—(Default) Counterclockwise. 1 CW—Clockwise.
	waveform speed profile returns the waveform representation of the speed profile.
	error out contains error information. If error in indicates that an error occurred before this node ran, error out contains the same error information. Otherwise, it describes the error status that this node produces. Right-click the error out front panel indicator and select Explain Error from the shortcut menu for more information about the error. status is TRUE (X) if an error occurred or FALSE (checkmark) to indicate a warning or that no error occurred. code is the error or warning code. If status is TRUE, code is a nonzero error code. If status is FALSE, code is 0 or a warning code. source describes the origin of the error or warning and is, in most cases, the name of the node that produced the error or warning.
